4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Mission Partner

1. Applied personal knowledge of furniture supplies/services.

2. Confirmed that three (3) furniture suppliers are able to supply the required equipment on the open market:

3. Reviewed past transactions for similar equipment.

4. Utilized GSA Advantage and GSA eLibrary.

5. Conducted vendor research, reviewed samples, trialed furniture from various vendors, and held manufacturer representative meetings.

6. Reviewed product catalogs and the VHA Healthcare Furniture IDIQ catalog.

The following product lines were reviewed:

Contracting:

1. Conducted search of Dynamic Small Business Search.

Used keyword search term “high density storage”, NAICS 337215, and

Business Type VOSB – Yielded 21 SD/VOSB results Used keyword search term “lockers”, NAICS 337215, and Business

Type VOSB – Yielded 7 SD/VOSB results

2. Conducted search of VA Supply Chain Master Catalog. A search of VA

SCMC for the brand name required for Items #2-6 (MetroMax) did not yield any results available on a SAC contract.

Findings:

The required equipment/services are not available on the VHA Healthcare Furniture IDIQ. Although they are available individually on GSA contracts, there is no single vendor that can provide all of the required equipment/services. The equipment does not appear to be available on a SAC contract. Therefore, an Open Market acquisition is appropriate. Since at least two SDVOSB concerns have been identified as able to provide the equipment/services and likely to submit an offer, this will be a 100% SDVOSB set aside.
