NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SUCCEEDING LEASE IN LINCOLN, ME

Notice of Intent to Lease Space Using Other Than Full and Open Competition

The U.S. Government intends to award a succeeding lease in Lincoln, ME using other than full and open competition for an existing CBOC lease for the Veterans Heath Administration (VHA).

This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR 6.302-1-Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. NAICS Code 531120 applies to this procurement.

In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternative space that potentially can satisfy the Government’s requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunication infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.
