Sole Source Justification UNICOR.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a sole source procurement by the National Guard Bureau for furniture purchase in building 237, room 209. The requirement includes 12 floating desks, 12 telescoping chairs with mesh backing, and 12 computer monitor mounting brackets with clamps. The procurement is being directed to UNICOR (Federal Prison Industries) as the sole source vendor, justified by the need to match existing furniture in the building and maintain consistency in accessories like computer stands and cabling mechanisms.

The total estimated price is redacted, but the contract will be a firm fixed-price procurement under O&M Air funding. The previous contract for similar furniture was executed on June 15, 2020, with the government having spent over $300K on furniture previously. The justification emphasizes that UNICOR is the only manufacturer capable of providing office furniture matching the existing design, and that purchasing matching components will ensure full integration and functionality. The contracting activity is 188 MSC, with the solicitation indicating the intent to award is for the 188th Wing of the Arkansas Air National Guard, with a contracting officer target date of June 17, 2025.
