GSA is justifying a sole-source extension of USDA office space in Bangor, Maine, to maintain operations while USDA determines its long-term space needs. - Lease: LME04766, covering 19,861 ABOA square feet (22,417 rentable square feet) at 967 Illinois Ave, Bangor, Maine. - Occupants: USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), Rural Housing Service (RHS), and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). - Extension: 60 months beginning August 5, 2026; the first year is firm. The current lease expires August 4, 2026. - Rationale: GSA says continuing in place avoids relocation costs and operational disruption. Its market research found the proposed rate within the market range and fair and reasonable. - Procurement status: This is a sole-source lease-extension justification, not a request for products. The incumbent lessor’s identity and the extension’s dollar value are not provided.
Description
The decision to pursue a lease extension is supported by GSAR 570.405 due the government encountering unexpected delays outside of its control in acquiring replacement space. The use of the sole source authority is appropriate where it is determined that award to any other offeror would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that are not expected to be recovered through competition.
