About this opportunity
Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to use Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) as a mandatory sole source for office chairs. The notice is posted on September 12, 2025, with a response deadline of September 16, 2025. UNICOR operates under CAGE code 1XFF6 and is designated as a mandatory government source pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions FAR 8.002(a)(1)(iii) and FAR 6.302-5(b)(1). The procurement falls under NAICS code 337214 for Office Furniture Manufacturing and PSC code 7110 for Office Furniture. This is classified as a Special Notice with no set-aside designation.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of NNSY's intention to procure office chairs through a sole source arrangement with UNICOR, while providing an opportunity for other parties to submit capability statements. Interested parties must submit their capability statements by September 16, 2025, though the government emphasizes this is not a request for quotes from sources other than UNICOR. The government will consider submitted information solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead of the planned sole source approach. Any decision to maintain the sole source procurement or transition to competition remains entirely at the government's discretion. The solicitation document is expected to be available on September 12, 2025, and will only be distributed electronically through www.sam.gov, with the government providing no compensation for information submitted in response to this notice.
