The action being approved is a new contract for a purchase order. Per 12.102 (a) I certify that only one source is available, Bolier & Company LLC, for this commercial purchase order this is the basis for the decision to sole source to the one company.

3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the Department’s needs.

OBO/OPS/RDF has identified the Bolier & Company LLC for the level of customization offered by this company. The selected pieces will not only coordinate with the unique architectural details, the environment, and the existing conditions of the Chief of Mission Residence, but that will also withstand the type of usage of our representational areas given our replacement cycles.

The requirement is to provide for the Chief of Mission Residence at a total cost of $68,871.00.

This will allow the Chief of Mission Residence meet the stringent standard of representational residences.

4. An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition:

This new contract is permitted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.201 Simplified Procedures and 12.102 Restricting Competition and Statutory Authority 41 U.S.C

Bolier & Company LLCis uniquely qualified for the nature of the acquisition, for it allows our designers to fulfill the design plan created for these representational residences.

6. A description of the efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable.

In selecting these items, extensive market research was conducted to verify the validity of the specific vendor, Bolier & Company LLC, as meeting the highest standards of OBO representational requirements. Multiple vendors and their products were compared to the quality, value and appropriateness of the final selection. This product was determined to be the most appropriate selection for the architecture, environment, and existing condition of the Chief of Mission Residence.

See point #6.

None.

10. A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition.

None.

11. A statement of any actions the agency will take to remove or overcome any future barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required.

Procurement of representational furniture does not lend itself to advertising or competition because selection is based on quality, type of house, climate or historical requirements. The Office of Residential Design and Furnishings (OBO/OPS/RDF) has a vast library for consideration. In addition to catalogs and samples RDF’s librarian arranges for vendors to visit the office to make new or updated product presentations to the design staff. The design staff always seeks new sources for goods by attending biannual trade shows.
