4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), One source or limited sources.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C). A previous order was placed in accordance with the Federal Supply Schedule (N40085-17-A-0054 N4008519F9963) in order to renovate adjacent office spaces in the same building. In the interest of economy and efficiency and to ensure similar materials are used and offices maintain a consistent appearance and the ability to reconfigure work space using the same furniture a follow-on order was placed against the same contract for furniture systems and workstations.

Contract N40085-17-A-0054 N4008519F9963 was awarded for the adjacent offices was competed. The request for quote for contract N40085-17-A-0054 N4008519F9963 was sent to UNICOR and to all Small Business NAVSUP Furniture BPA holders.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable.

Per FAR 10.002(b)(1) market research was not conducted because market research was conducted for the previous award (N40085-17-A-0054 N4008519F9963) and is still current, accurate, and relevant.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

In this case, it is logical to create a follow-on order due to the examples cited in item 5. For future acquisitions of the same or similar items, all requests will be competitive and will remove any barriers, such as timelines of funding and planning for future needs.
