About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's Embassy Bangkok published this sole source justification notice on January 13, 2026, for the procurement of outdoor furniture from IKEA valued at 577,430 Thai Baht (approximately $18,129). The justification for limiting competition to a single source centers on maintaining consistency within the embassy's Residential Furniture and Appliance Pool (FAP) program, ensuring quality and durability standards that have been established through prior experience with IKEA products, and achieving cost effectiveness based on market research of comparable items available locally. IKEA was selected as the sole source vendor based on the Contracting Officer's determination that the company is a reliable and quality supplier with sufficient inventory to meet the embassy's needs. The procurement was awarded under contract number 19TH2026P0128 on January 2, 2026, and is intended to replace older model outdoor furniture while promoting equity across embassy residences and enabling more efficient warehouse inventory management. The single source approach allows the embassy to phase out legacy furniture systematically while standardizing its housing stock across multiple residences.
Notice text
A single source purchase is justified based on Post’s experience with these items ensuring appropriate quality/durability, cost effectiveness based on research of similar items available on the local market, and to ensure consistence of Post’s inventory as older model outdoor furniture is phased out of the FAP program. Consistency is necessary for FAP to ensure equity across residences and allow for more efficient inventory management within the warehouse.
Awarded contract 19TH2026P0128 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-01-02.
