4. Authority Cited: "41 United States Code 1901 as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.501(a)(1)(ii), sole source (including brand name) under the authority of the simplified procedures for certain commercial items".

5. Reason for Authority Cited: Department of Public Works at Fort Drum, NY requires new furniture for the renovation of building 4205. The new furniture must match the existing furniture to prevent mismatched and unprofessional presentation of the renovated building. Brand name manufacturer finish for the new furniture will ensure a streamlined and professional presentation. Right Price Companies, Inc delivered and installed the prior furniture package but is not the only vendor that can provide the required finishes.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Market research indicates at least three Hubzone businesses that can provide the required furniture finishes. Requirement will be competed on a combined synopsis solicitation as a Hubzone set aside under FAR part

12.6 on sam.gov.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: Market Research indicates adequate competition among Hubzone businesses. Multiple Hubzone businesses can fulfill the requested brand name requirements.

8. Market Research: Internet searches, local vendor inquiries, and catalog browsing provided at least three Hubzone businesses that can provide the furniture with the required finishes. Right Price Companies, Inc is one of the vendors that provided the furniture in the past.

9. Interested Sources: Right Price Companies Inc – provided the required furniture previously.
