Sec. 102-73.135  When may agencies that do not possess independent 
leasing authority lease space?

    Federal agencies may perform for themselves all functions necessary 
to acquire leased space in buildings and land incidental thereto when:
    (a) The authority may be delegated (see Sec. 102-72.30(b) on the 
different types of delegations related to real estate leasing);
    (b) The space may be leased for no rental, or for a nominal 
consideration of $1 per annum, and is limited to terms not to exceed 1 
year;
    (c) Authority has been requested by an executive agency and a 
specific delegation has been granted by the Administrator of General 
Services;
    (d) A categorical delegation has been granted by the Administrator 
of General Services for space to accommodate particular types of agency 
activities, such as military recruiting offices or space for certain 
county level agricultural activities. A listing of categorical 
delegations is found at Sec. 102-73.150; or
    (e) The required space is found by the Administrator of General 
Services to be wholly or predominantly utilized for the special purposes 
of the agency to occupy such space and is not generally suitable for use 
by other agencies. Federal agencies must obtain prior approval from the 
GSA regional office having jurisdiction for the proposed leasing action, 
before initiating a leasing action involving 2,500 or more square feet 
of such special purpose space. GSA's approval must be based upon a 
finding that there is no vacant Government-owned or leased space 
available that will meet the agency's requirements. Agency special 
purpose
