About this opportunity
The Federal Railroad Administration published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the disassembly, packing, shipping, and reinstallation of complete office furniture systems for 8 offices from their SMT-6 facility in Wilmington, Delaware to the Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo, Colorado. The justification was based on the contractor's specialized expertise with the specific furniture systems and economic considerations, as the sole source contractor Govsolutions, Inc. originally installed the furniture and provided the lowest quote at $25,039.04 compared to the government's independent cost estimate of $30,285.65. The agency determined that purchasing new furniture would cost over $145,000, making the relocation significantly more cost-effective than replacement. The contract (693JJ625P000013) was awarded on July 9, 2025, though the final award amount was not disclosed in the notice. The procurement involved moving furniture for 8 complete office setups including desks, tables, chairs, and filing systems, with the contractor selected based on their familiarity with the furniture systems and ability to properly disassemble and reassemble the components.
