Refinish GYM floor WO AB809147

The Bureau of Indian Education, within the Department of the Interior, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source contract for refinishing the gymnasium floor at Chemawa Indian School in Salem, Oregon. The government intends to award this contract under the simplified acquisition procedures of FAR Part 13 to Brandsen Hardwood Floors, Inc., the original contractor who installed the first coat on the new gym flooring. The contract work order AB809147 is classified under NAICS code 238330 for Flooring Contractors and falls under the PSC category Z1FB for Maintenance of Recreational Buildings. This is not a set-aside procurement and represents a continuation of the original flooring installation project. The contracting officer for this procurement is Mary Jane Johnson, who can be contacted at maryjane.johnson@bie.edu for specific questions.

The purpose of this sole source procurement is to install the second required coating on the new gym flooring, which involves full cleaning of the newly installed hardwood floor, removal of any blemishes, and application of an oil-based finish for water damage protection. The government justifies the sole source approach under FAR 6.302-1, stating that only one responsible source exists and that Brandsen Hardwood Floors is uniquely qualified as the original installer with no other distributors or sources available. Interested parties who wish to identify their capability to respond to this requirement must do so by 12:00 AM on August 4, 2025. The contractor will be responsible for providing all labor, materials, supervision, and waste removal, with a performance period of 14 calendar days for completion. The work must comply with OSHA Federal Regulations and BIA School Facilities Design Handbook requirements, and the contractor must submit a Project Schedule using Gantt Charting and a final landfill manifest upon completion.
