The USDA Forest Service has awarded a five-year lease extension to the incumbent lessor for office space located in Camptonville, California, under sole-source authority authorized by FAR 6.103-1 and GSAR 570.405. The extension, effective from January 1, 2028, through December 31, 2033, is designed to ensure uninterrupted government operations by avoiding the significant costs and disruptions associated with relocating to a new federal facility. The current lease expires on December 31, 2027, and the decision to extend was driven by mission continuity, cost avoidance, and market research confirming the reasonableness of the rental rate, though specific pricing details are not disclosed in the documentation. The lease covers 7,915 rentable square feet at the existing location, with no formal line-item pricing, contract options beyond the extension, or performance metrics defined. The acquisition was conducted without competition, and no set-aside, socioeconomic status, or small business considerations were applicable. The contracting officer, Elvi Batista, certified the action based on the unique circumstances surrounding delayed replacement facility acquisition. No contract clauses in the FAR 52.2xx-xx format were included, and there is no provision for inspections beyond compliance with regulatory authority, no COTR or COR identified, no invoicing method specified, and no payment or accounting codes beyond the agency code 129A63 and NAICS code 531120. The place of performance remains the existing facility in Camptonville, CA 95922, with no packaging, marking, security clearance, key personnel, or organizational conflict of interest requirements outlined. The award is non-competitive, driven by operational necessity, with no formal evaluation factors, trade-off process, or price competition involved.
