F35 Executive Furniture

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBC, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the acquisition of furniture for F-35 HPSI South Bay. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13-106-1(b)(1) resulting in a firm fixed price contract.

This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 337211. Size standard is $31,000. 

The proposed source is Executive Furniture of Washington, D.C., Inc. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within four (4) days of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows:  The new executive furnishings must match the previously delivered furniture, which is located in adjacent offices.  The areas will be occupied by the same organization and are directly across from each other.  Seating, Executive, and Systems Furniture for the South Bay must match the previous buys for the North and Center Bay, and can also be moved from North to South if needed. The current furniture in the North and Central Bays is from the manufacturer Jasper Desk. Section 4.6.2 of the WPAFB Base Facility Standard dated Mar 2016 states "once a manufacturer, color, and finish scheme has been established by a large purchase, as much as practical, all future purchases in the organization and/or building are to be the same."

The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD.  Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for contracts issued after 29 May 2012.  You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220.
