About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a Navy solicitation for chairs. The procurement seeks 175 Malpass B-3B-2A chairs with arms and solid back (Navy blue upholstery) for the USS MOMSEN (DDG-92) located in San Diego, California. The solicitation (N00024425QS136) is a small business set-aside with NAICS code 337127 and a size standard of 500 employees.
The Q&A clarifies a key procurement detail regarding brand name requirements, confirming that the solicitation is for a brand name only item, despite previous language allowing "or equal" products. Amendment 01 extended the response deadline to 10 September 2025 at 1:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, removed the "Brand Name or Equal" provision, and requires vendors to submit an image of the chair with their quote. The procurement is being conducted by the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command.

09/08/2025 Q&A #1
1. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation includes FAR 52.211 6 “Brand Name or Equal,” which would normally allow an equivalent product meeting all salient characteristics. However, the attached Justification & Approval (J&A) document specifies “brand name only” for the Malpass B 3B 2A chair and states that an “or equal” description cannot be used. Could you please confirm which requirement governs for this procurement — the brand name only restriction in the J&A, or the brand name or equal provision in the solicitation? This clarification will ensure that any offer we submit is fully responsive.
Answer: This requirement is a brand name only. The justification and approval for a brand name only item takes precedence. I will modify the solicitation to remove that provision and extend the buy until 10 September at 1:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time.
