About this opportunity
The 188th Wing, Arkansas Air National Guard, issued a notice of intent to sole source to UNICOR (Federal Prison Industries) a firm-fixed price contract to provide ten new analyst workstations and disassemble and reassemble existing UNICOR furniture, with responses due by 10:00 AM CST on August 25, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, based on the finding that UNICOR is the only responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements. The existing UNICOR modular furniture systems employ proprietary connective hardware, panel dimensions, and electrical configurations that are incompatible with other commercial vendors; sourcing from alternative suppliers would necessitate complete replacement of functional furniture and duplicate costs. The justification, approved July 16, 2026, references a prior sole-source award to UNICOR on the same authority (Contract F6Q0FW7202GW01, August 29, 2017). Qualified sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government. Responses must be emailed to contracting officer Mrs. Devin Green at devin.green.5@us.af.mil; telephone and fax inquiries will not be accepted. The Government retains sole discretion to compete or not compete based on responses received.
