About this opportunity
Arkansas Air National Guard, 189 Mission Support Contracting at Little Rock Air Force Base intends to issue a firm-fixed-price sole-source award to Federal Prison Industries for office furniture totaling $159,551.66, with responses due by September 15, 2026. The procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) as a simplified acquisition below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, with sole-source authority based on only one source being reasonably available.
The requirement is for office furniture to outfit the Medical Group at the 189th Airlift Wing campus. Market research determined that FPI pricing and quality are comparable to commercial options, with delivery within 90 days. The contracting officer selected FPI to maintain consistency with existing base-wide furniture stock procured from FPI over several years, enabling seamless furniture reconfiguration as mission needs change and avoiding the cost and disruption of replacing the entire base furniture inventory. The acquisition is classified as a commercial commodity purchase with incidental services including inside delivery, setup, and removal of packing materials. Delivery is anticipated 120 days after receipt of order to Little Rock Air Force Base.
Interested concerns may challenge this sole-source determination by submitting clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government by the response deadline. The contracting officer retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole source or open competition based on responses received. This notice is published for transparency only and does not request quotes, bids, or unsolicited proposals.
