Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

We are asking contracting offices for consideration to add FAR 52.208-9 for SKILCRAFT door hardware in your current and future acquisition as it now applies to construction and renovation "flow down" situations per US AbilityOne Commission Procurement List Notice of Addition #20150054 (9 Feb 2016).

The architect's specification is the difference. Architecturally Specified Products ARE called out as an "ingredient" in construction and renovation products. PL #20150054 of 9 Feb 2016 added 90 door hardware products compliant to ANSI and BHMA certification IRT FAR 8.005 and 36.202.

SKILCRAFT Door Hardware products are architecturally compliant in specification DIVISION 08 OPENINGS, SECTION 08 71 00 DOOR HARDWARE; ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Cylindrical Locks, ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Exit Devices, ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Door Closers, ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Mortise Locks. SKILCRAFT locksets ARE Small and Large Format IC compatible.

FAR 52.208-9 for mandatory and specific sourcing does not require a separate CLIN because the product is architecturally specified for construction and renovation requirements. The product is going to the job site by the same project incorporation as all other materials specified by the architect.

Recommended text. "The following items have been identified to be obtained from a mandatory AbilityOne source in compliance with FAR clause 52.208-9, Contractor Use of Mandatory Sources of Supply or Services:

DIVISION 08 – OPENINGS, 08 71 00 DOOR HARDWARE; SKILCRAFT Brand Exit Devices, Door Controls – Closers, Mortise Locks & Latches. Pricing and availability may be obtained from SKILCRAFT PDQ at 1-855-NIB- SPEC (1-855-652-7732) or SKILCRAFT.ASP@VISIONCORPS.NET.

Additional items may be available from the mandatory source. AbilityOne's procurement products list can be searched at: www.abilityone.com (End of text)"
