About this opportunity
The Department of State's US Embassy in Riga, Latvia issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of 700 square meters of Tarkett carpet tiles, specifically color AD08 9851 in 50x50 cm size, with an estimated purchase order value of USD 15,000. The justification for brand-specific procurement stems from the embassy's existing interior design, where FAC employees determined that Tarkett branded carpets provide the closest color match to previously installed carpet from a discontinued product line. The embassy's facility staff visited multiple showrooms and evaluated samples from various manufacturers before selecting Tarkett, citing the need for matching thickness and color palette to maintain design consistency. The contract was awarded on December 12, 2024, under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows limitation of competition based on brand name requirements. While the specific vendor was not disclosed in the notice, the procurement falls under the Flooring Contractors NAICS category and Floor Coverings PSC category, with certifications from both the Facility Manager and Contracting Officer dated November 25, 2024.
Notice text
The requirement is to provide 700 sqm of carpet tiles for the American Embassy Riga, Latvia. The estimated value of the purchase order is USD 15,000.00. The required brand is Desso, Tarkett, color- AD08 9851, size of one tile: 50 x 50 cm. The Embassy currently has Tarkett carpet that was partially installed for a redesign project. That carpet is now discontinued, but a carpet within the same brand, with the same thickness, and color pallet is required.
FAC Embassy employees visited multiple showrooms and received samples from more than one manufacturer of carpet tiles. The Tarkett branded carpets have the closest coloring match to the existing installed carpet that will not be replaced. This particular brand and color scheme (though not this tile) was selected by OBO's interior designers when the furniture was originally purchased.
The price has been determined fair and reasonable.
Awarded contract 19LG7525P0099 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2024-12-12.
