About this file

This document is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) for Simplified Acquisitions by FEMA Region 1. The procurement is a total small business set-aside for renovation work at a FEMA facility, including demolishing and removing existing walls, installing soundproof walls, new carpet, lighting, electrical work, and a new tinted glass wall. The project magnitude is less than $100,000, with a brand name specification required for certain elements (glass wall, light fixtures, tiles, carpet, and wall insulation).

The procurement will use a firm fixed price pricing arrangement, with price analysis to be determined through market research, comparison to previous purchases, and competitive quotations. The justification for the brand name specification is to ensure visual consistency with existing elements, as alternative manufacturers' products might appear or require installation differently. The document is dated 9-23-2025, with a PR Number of BX00134Y2025T, and has been digitally signed by the Contracting Officer, Maurice D Randolph.
