2VA0922 Redacted Justification for Other Than Full Competition

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The General Services Administration (GSA) is responsible for managing federal properties and leases. This justification pertains to a superseding lease for the Department of State (DOS) Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) at 7943-7959 Angus Court, Springfield, VA. The current lease, which began on June 1, 2010, is set to expire on May 31, 2025. The DOS's mission involves securing diplomacy and protecting U.S. travel documents, necessitating a stable and secure operational environment. Work Details The GSA seeks to negotiate a new lease for 54,553 Rentable Square Feet (RSF) of office and flex warehouse space for a firm term of 15 years with a 5-year renewal option. This action is based on an analysis indicating that remaining at the current location is financially advantageous due to significant move and replication costs associated with relocating. The facility supports critical functions such as protecting high-ranking officials and investigating passport fraud. The lease will allow DOS to continue utilizing existing tenant improvements while making necessary reconfigurations. Period of Performance The new lease will commence upon substantial completion of renovations or no later than the expiration of the current lease on May 31, 2025, lasting for a firm term of 15 years with an option for an additional 5 years. Place of Performance The contract will be performed at 7943-7959 Angus Court, Springfield, VA, within the Northern Virginia submarket.
