Justification Redacted

         



9. LIST OF SOURCES, IF ANY, THAT EXPRESSED, IN WRITING, AN INTEREST IN THE

ACQUISITION.

10. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME

ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION. There are no systemic barriers to competition. If the agency has a continuing need for space upon lease expiration, GSA will follow all authorities, regulations and policies applicable to lease acquisition. Should there be remaining useful life in the Government’s tenant improvements, the Government will consider the cost of moving from the existing location, and the cost to build out new space when deciding whether to undergo a competitive action.
Additionally, objective scrutiny will be given to the customer agency’s mission and security requirements (if applicable) to eliminate unnecessary agency space requirements that may be deemed unduly restrictive. 11. CONTRACTING OFFICER CERTIFICATION.
By signature on this Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition, the GSA Lease Contracting Officer certifies that the award of a new lease of 208,234 RSF is in the Government’s best interest and that this Justification is accurate and complete to the best of the GSA Lease Contracting Officer’s knowledge and belief.




12. PREPARER’S TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION.
I certify that the supporting data used to form the basis of this Justification is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief.
