GSA justifies a 48-month noncompetitive extension of its Harlem office lease

**Buyer:** GSA PBS Region 2 Leasing Division
**Posted:** October 29, 2026
**Identifier:** 5NY0727
**NAICS:** 531120

GSA documented a noncompetitive extension to keep an existing office location in Harlem occupied while replacement space is delayed.
- **Requirement:** Continue leasing 21,851 square feet of existing office space under project 5NY0727.
- **Term:** 48 months, with a 36-month firm period; requested dates are December 8, 2025, through December 7, 2029. The prior lease expired December 7, 2025, and is in holdover.
- **Competition basis:** GSA cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.405 to support negotiating with the incumbent lessor without full and open competition.
- **Rationale:** Continued occupancy is intended to prevent operational disruption and avoid relocation, tenant-improvement, furniture, and replication costs while GSA revisits the replacement-space procurement.
- **Pricing and location details:** GSA considers the negotiated rate fair and reasonable, but rental amounts and specific location details are redacted or unavailable.
- **Vendor and products:** The incumbent lessor is not named in the available information; no products or part numbers are listed.
