About this opportunity
The Department of State US Embassy Riga has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for cubicle furniture procurement for the Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance, and Training (OPDAT) Office. The estimated contract value is $12,650, including options, with an award date of November 22, 2024. After conducting market research, the Facility Manager determined that Kate.lv was the most suitable furniture supplier, offering high-quality office furniture that matches the style approved by the OBO Interior Design office. Other potential suppliers like Kimko and AnDeko were evaluated but did not meet the specific requirements for custom design, quality, or style consistency. The procurement was authorized by OBO Washington due to the short turnaround time for a new position and the likelihood that the contract would not extend beyond a couple of tours. The contract (19LG7525P0093) was awarded to an unspecified vendor, falling under the Office Furniture Manufacturing NAICS category and using the Office Furniture PSC classification.

Furniture for embassies is typically purchased through contracts held with OBO Washington for specific suppliers. Due to a short turn around time on a new position and the potential that the contract for this position will not go beyond more
than a couple tours, OBO Washington agreed that we could purchase furniture locally. This was only allowed ifthe furniture provided was of equal quality and similar style to that provided by OBO. They agreed to the selection of Kate.lv - a high quality furniture brand.
Market research was completed by the Facility Manager which involved searching online for suppliers and visiting major design centers to see what was available. Other suppliers that were considered:
1. Kimko - they are a supplier of Esto furniture. They did not offer a custom build, only parts and pieces that would have to be cobbled together by FAC(similar to IKEA). Their offerings were also lower quality.
