Furniture Repair - Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Justice, Procurement Services Staff, on behalf of the Justice Management Division Facilities and Administration Support Services (FASS), intends to award a purchase order to Re-Form Office Furniture, based on FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b) Soliciting from a single source. FASS has an urgent and compelling need to repair conference room chairs that have fallen into disrepair to the point of being uncomfortable to sit on. These chairs are in a highly used space so urgency of the repairs is critical. This is a logical follow-on to a previous acquisition for a similar furniture reupholster procurement that was competed using open market ordering procedures in which this vendor was the awardee. It is in the best interest of the Government to keep the uniformity and consistency of the reupholster process with the same source which will reduce costs and delays and the vendor’s employees have already been cleared for building access based on the previous award. Continued use of Re-Form will ensure quick and timely repair of the damaged or worn chairs. This is a notice of intent to award using other than full and open competition and should not be considered a request for information on whether additional vendors have the capability to perform this service. No solicitation document is available. A request for more information or a copy of the solicitation will not be considered a response. No telephone inquiries will be accepted. Any responses received as a result of this notice shall be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive requirement. Responses to this notice must be emailed to [email protected].
