furniture and design services

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, specifically the Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department Groton office in Connecticut, has issued a Special Notice regarding furniture and design services. The agency intends to award a sole source purchase order to Unicor for onsite design and installation services under the Office Furniture Manufacturing category. This procurement will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 and Other Than Full and Open Competition as authorized under FAR 6.302-1. The anticipated award date is September 5, 2025. The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for proposals or quotations.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the Navy's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for potential challenges to this procurement approach. Contractors who believe they can provide equivalent supplies or services that meet the government's stated requirements may submit written challenges to sarah.p.schultz.civ@us.navy.mil for government consideration. Any challenges must include sufficient information to demonstrate that equivalent capabilities exist to satisfy the Navy's needs. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete this requirement based on any responses received. There are no specific eligibility criteria outlined for participation, as this is a notification of sole source intent rather than an open competition.
