Redacted Justification for Myrtle Beach, SC - 3SC0173

Background

The General Services Administration (GSA) is responsible for leasing office space for various federal agencies. This justification pertains to a request from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a succeeding lease at their current location in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The IRS has an ongoing need for office space to fulfill its mission, and the current lease is set to expire on July 31, 2026. The GSA seeks approval to negotiate a new lease with the incumbent lessor without full and open competition due to specific circumstances outlined in the justification. Work Details: The IRS requires 4,185 ANSI/BOMA occupancy area square feet (ABOA) of office space, which translates to 4,365 rentable square feet (RSF). The agency has confirmed that no improvements are needed for the existing space. The delineated area for this lease includes: - North: 29th Avenue North - South: Highway 501 to 3rd Avenue South - East: Ocean Boulevard - West: Highway 17. The justification cites that there is no vacant federal space available that meets the agency's requirements. Furthermore, it is noted that moving to another location would incur significant costs related to relocation and replication of existing tenant improvements. Period of Performance: The contract will be performed until July 31, 2026, following the expiration of the current lease. Place of Performance: 601 19th Avenue North, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
