About this opportunity
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has issued a Special Notice regarding their intent to award a sole source contract for furniture relocation services. The contract involves disassembling, packing, shipping, and reinstalling furniture from eight offices at the FRA facility in Wilmington, Delaware to the FRA Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo, Colorado. The agency intends to award this contract to GovSolutions Inc., the company that originally purchased, delivered, and installed the furniture. This procurement is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and is being conducted under sole source authority pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b) and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). The FRA justifies the sole source approach based on GovSolutions Inc.'s familiarity with the specific furniture and their expertise in proper disassembly and reassembly procedures.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the FRA's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other qualified vendors to express interest in the requirement. Interested parties must submit their capabilities and qualifications via email to the FRA point of contact, Akwasi Kankam, by 12:00 p.m. ET on July 9, 2025. The agency will evaluate these responses solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis rather than sole source. This is not a request for competitive proposals, and the government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole source award regardless of other parties' expressed interest. The contract falls under NAICS code 337214 for Office Furniture Manufacturing and PSC code R499 for Professional Support Services.
