About this file
This is a Single Source Justification form (FWS Form 3-0034) submitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Joint Administrative Operations, Acquisitions Operations division for a simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) purchase.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's McGregor District requires furniture components to reconfigure existing HON brand office furniture for a newly constructed facility expected to be completed in Spring 2026. The district relocated to GSA-leased space approximately 10 years ago and purchased furniture from HON, which the agency plans to reuse in the new facility. Since the new facility will have four offices compared to the old facility's two offices, additional matching components are needed. The contracting officer justified sole source acquisition with HON based on design compatibility, material consistency, and brand reliability requirements. Market research confirmed that HON is available as an open market acquisition and is the only manufacturer capable of matching the existing furniture line. While other businesses likely carry HON office furniture, the justification noted that procuring from alternative sources would result in significantly higher costs compared to obtaining matching components from the original manufacturer. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined based on quotes received after competition. The Program/Project Officer (Kendra Pednault) certified the justification as accurate on July 28, 2025, and the Contracting Officer (Caleb Kindsvater) approved the sole source acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13 on August 28, 2025.

Contracting Officer
| Text3: Other businesses likely carry HON office furniture. |
| Text2: Market Research is limited to manufacturer, HON. The procurement of furniture items is intended to match and complement existing pieces within the space. This will result in design compatibility, material consistency, and brand reliability. |
Market Research found HON is available as an open market acquisition. A brand name manufacturer limited to HON will satisfy this acquisition. HON will be able to match the existing furniture line for the new components needed.
Text1: Manufacturer Brand Name (HON furniture) Single Source Justification:
McGregor District staff were moved into GSA leased spaced approximately 10 years ago. The station is currently building a new office and shop facility and plans to re-use existing furniture. The new facility is expected to be completed in Spring of 2026. The existing furniture was purchased from HON furniture and HON still carries the matching colors. We will need to buy additional components to re-configure the existing furniture into the new offices. In addition, because the new facility has four offices and the old one has two offices, we will need two additional sets of matching office furniture.
| Text4: We could place and order with any office furniture supplier but the cost would be significantly higher than re-using our existing pieces with the components needed for re-configuration. | |
| Text6: Pricing will be determined fair and reasonable based on quotes (meeting specifications) received after competition. | |
