DEMONSTRATION OF CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS:

The statutory authority which permits restricting consideration of schedule contractors to fewer than that required in FAR 8.405-1 or 8.405-2 is 41 U.S.C. 251, as implemented by FAR 8.405-6.

The justification for limiting sources is because the item is peculiar to one manufacturer and will be ordered under an existing order.

The proposed requirement is to acquire the following in Building 57: reconfiguration of the layout to include nine (9) additional cubicles and one (1) small meeting area, with accompanying new furniture; and the upgrade of existing furniture in twenty-four (24) cubicles, eight (8) offices, and two (2) conference rooms. The Contractor will inventory the existing furniture;

dismantle the existing furniture; store the furniture and dismantled parts to be reused; order new product to be installed; and discard any unused parts and trash. The existing Herman Miller furniture shall be dismantled by an authorized factory-trained technician or an authorized dealer

Rev 07/22/2022 SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION – SEE FAR 2.101 and 3.104 installer to maintain warranty coverage for the products. The dismantling of the existing Herman Miller furniture must be performed by an authorized factory-trained technician or an authorized dealer installer to maintain warranty coverage for the products. Contract Furnishers of Hawaii Inc (dba Office Pavilion) is the only Herman Miller Certified Dealer in Hawaii.

Additionally, NAVFAC Pacific seeks to purchase Herman Miller components in order to standardize the existing workstations within the Building 57 workspaces. To keep in line with current budgetary constraints NAVFAC Pacific will benefit from the cost-savings of reusing existing furniture, augmenting any reconfiguration and repair work by going to the same source of the original acquisition.

5. DETERMINATION OF THE BEST VALUE:

GSA has determined the prices of Contract Furnishers of Hawaii Inc.’s (dba Office Pavilion) Herman Miller office furniture and its rates for incidental services offered at hourly rates to be fair and reasonable for the purpose of establishing the schedule contract under GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) 47QSMA24D08N9. However, ordering activities are responsible to make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing for individual orders. Per FAR

8.404 (d) DEVIATION 2014-O0011, the NAVFAC Pacific ACQ21 Contracting Officer will determine, using the procedures in FAR 15.404-1, that the prices are fair and reasonable and will document such determination with a level of detail commensurate with the complexity and circumstances of each order.
