About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for furniture and educational materials needed at the Fort Sam Houston Child Development Center. The agency has identified an urgent need to replace broken furniture, materials, and other classroom items required for the center to operate at full capacity and meet its mission requirements. Based on their market research, the government has determined that Lakeshore Learning is uniquely positioned to meet their specific needs, as detailed in an attached sole source justification document. The procurement falls under the Institutional Furniture Manufacturing NAICS code and Office Furniture PSC category. This special notice was posted on July 31, 2025, with a response deadline of August 7, 2025.
The purpose of this notice is to provide transparency before awarding a sole source contract to Lakeshore Learning while offering other potential vendors an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities. The government's justification for sole sourcing centers on Lakeshore Learning's exclusive research-based curriculum packages specifically designed for military child development centers, along with specialized training modules and compliance with DOD safety and environmental requirements that other vendors cannot match. Any vendors who believe they can provide comparable solutions are invited to contact the government and demonstrate their capabilities by the August 7, 2025 deadline. The procurement involves a comprehensive suite of toys, manipulatives, and furniture specifically designed for early learning environments, with Lakeshore Learning's selection based on their unique certifications including ASTM International Standards, CPSC, and GREENGUARD Gold compliance. If no qualifying responses are received by the deadline, the contract will be awarded to Lakeshore Learning through a simplified acquisition process.
