Justification of Other Than Full and Open Competition - 5TN0229

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The justification for other than full and open competition pertains to the lease extension of parking facilities in Nashville, TN, specifically Lease number LTN02785. This lease is occupied by multiple agencies and is located at 111 10TH AVE S, NASHVILLE, TN. The lease expired on April 30, 2025, and is currently in holdover status, which will expire on November 30, 2025. The government requires a 12-month extension as outlined in the Acquisition Plan found in the lease file. This decision is supported by GSAR 570.405. Work Details The tasks under this contract include extending the current lease for parking facilities to accommodate multiple agencies that are facing unexpected delays in relocating to other federally controlled spaces. These delays include issues with preparing new spaces for occupancy and consolidating various agencies to establish a common expiration date for leases. The rationale for this extension includes: 1. Cost-based rationale: Lease extensions are necessary to protect the government's occupancy rights when it cannot vacate the premises by the expiration of the existing contract term. Extensions help avoid costs associated with holdover tenancies and do not allow for recovery of relocation costs through full and open competition for a separate short-term lease. 2. Mission-based rationale: The agency's mission requires a unique location that cannot be satisfied through alternative locations. There is a need for time to establish and obtain new parking requirements and spaces near their current location. Period of Performance The period of performance for this lease extension is anticipated to be an additional 12 months beyond the current holdover period, which ends on November 30, 2025. Place of Performance The contract will be performed at 111 10TH AVE S, NASHVILLE, TN.
