YELL Household Furniture Purchase

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for household furniture to support seasonal employee housing units at Yellowstone National Park. The procurement sought coordinated furniture sets for one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, beds, dressers, nightstands, dining tables, and various accent pieces manufactured in the United States using FSC-certified wood products and Green Guard GOLD-certified upholstery materials. Key contract requirements specified that all furniture must feature contemporary or modern styling with robust construction suitable for high employee turnover, include specific structural specifications such as mortise and tenon joinery for sofa frames and gel foam mattresses, and meet comprehensive warranty requirements covering lifetime protection for internal structures, five-year coverage for electrical and mechanical components, and one-year coverage for finished materials. The evaluation criteria included price, technical capability, and past performance, with quoters required to demonstrate direct experience supplying household or dormitory furniture within the past three years. The original solicitation closed on April 8, 2026 at 4:08 PM Mountain Time, but Amendment 0001 extended the deadline to April 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM Mountain Time before Amendment 0002 ultimately cancelled the entire solicitation on April 16, 2026.

This procurement was designated as a 100% small business set-away under FAR Part 12 for commercial products, with no incumbent contractor identified in the available documentation. The delivery requirement was May 20, 2026 to 22 Stable Street, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 82190, on an FOB Destination basis, with a performance period originally scheduled from April 22, 2026 through May 20, 2026. The price schedule required quoters to provide unit pricing for 20 line items (sub-lines 101-121) with quantities ranging from 4 to 50 units depending on the furniture type, along with freight costs on an FOB Destination basis. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the available solicitation documents. Although the solicitation was ultimately cancelled before award, it represented a specialized procurement requiring furniture specifically suited to the demanding environment of seasonal national park housing with strict environmental and durability standards.
