The Department of Energy (DOE) intends to issue a Firm Fixed Price award to a single source under the authority of FAR 13.106 Soliciting Competition, Evaluation of Quotations or Offers, Award and Documentation. DOE intends to award this requirement as a sole source to Mohawk Carpet Distribution Inc. This contractor is the sole manufacturer and reseller of the required Mohawk Forward Vision carpet tiles. The contractor shall provide the Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), 2,432 SYs of the GT135 Mohawk Forward Vision carpet tiles in Skill color and 18 4-gallon buckets of Enpress adhesive.
