About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), under the Department of the Navy, has published a special notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for office furniture to Kimball International. The procurement involves acquiring new systems furniture for the DeFlorez Complex in Orlando, Florida, as part of the VJETTS Furniture Buy project. NAWCTSD intends to sole source this contract to Kimball International because they are the original equipment manufacturer of the existing furniture system currently in use at the command. The agency has classified this as "other than full and open competition" under FAR Parts 12 and 13 procedures, citing only one reasonably available source for the required products.
The primary purpose of this special notice is to inform potential contractors of the Navy's intention to proceed with sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other interested parties to demonstrate their capability to provide the required furniture systems. Contractors interested in challenging the sole source determination must submit written responses by 5:00 PM EST on August 25, 2025, to Emily Lawrence at emily.g.lawrence3.civ@us.navy.mil or by phone at 407-380-8450. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive four-phase project involving furniture purchase, storage, installation, and relocation across two facilities: the DeFlorez Building and UCF Hyperspace Building, with completion deadlines extending through April 15, 2026. While the notice invites responses from interested parties, it emphasizes that this is not a competitive quote request and that the final determination to compete the requirement remains at the government's discretion. Eligible contractors must demonstrate their ability to provide systems furniture that matches existing installations and comply with all federal, state, and local requirements.
