Redacted justification for renewal in Philadelphia, PA

The contract pertains to the sole-source renewal of Lease GS-03B-09489 for 49,990 rentable square feet of office and warehouse space located at 10430 Drummond Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The action is justified under 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1) and guided by GSAR 570.401 and FAR 6.103-1, as no other facility or source can meet the Government’s mission-critical operational needs without incurring substantial duplication of costs and disruption. The justification cites the high cost of relocating the tenant and its improvements, the lack of viable alternatives in the market, and the fact that only the incumbent lessor expressed interest during market research conducted through SAM.gov, CoStar, and LoopNet. The existing lease expires on November 3, 2026, and the Government intends to exercise a one-time, unevaluated five-year soft-priced renewal option commencing November 4, 2026, provided notice is given no later than July 5, 2026. Performance is to remain at the current location, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Government at the same premises, based on compliance with lease terms and satisfactory maintenance as verified by the GSA property manager. The contracting office is the PBS Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration, based in Washington, DC, with Jennifer Kauffmann listed as the primary point of contact. Although a cost-benefit analysis supports the decision, all monetary values including the renewal rate and total estimated value are redacted, and no formal CLINs, pricing data, subcontracting goals, or evaluation factors are disclosed. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic designations from the offeror are provided, and key administrative roles such as COTR, COR, or payment office details are absent. The acquisition is fully non-competitive, relying on statutory authority to avoid reprocurement, with no requirement for bid submissions, proposal formats, or technical evaluations.
