This federal contract award was issued by the Bureau of Naval Personnel, a defense agency, to LC Industries Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides employment opportunities for people who are blind. The $96,439.00 firm fixed-price purchase order is for the delivery of 700 rigid innerspring mattresses to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, as LC Industries is the only known source capable of meeting the government's minimum requirements at this time. LC Industries is an experienced federal contractor, holding multiple contracts including a $5,000,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center to provide a wide range of products. The company's demonstrated ability to manage large-scale supply operations for government installations makes it well-suited to deliver the required mattresses under this contract.
