Award Notice for the procurement of 1ID Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Team furniture and office equipment.
The 1ID Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Team on Fort Riley, Kansas is looking to procure multiple specific items for an office setting i.e., furniture and equipment (desks, chairs, tables, filing cabinets, bookcases, privacy panels, acoustic panels, sit stand desks, curtains, dry erase equipment, easels, projectors, screens/monitors, TVs, desk monitor mounts, headphones, ink cartridges and batteries).
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service, Office of Procurement, awarded a GSA Multiple Award Schedule delivery order to Business Interiors, Inc. for furniture, design, freight, and installation supporting the National Computer Forensics Institute’s facility expansion in Hoover, Alabama.
The award includes furnishings for administrative offices, classrooms, auditorium and lobby areas, food-service space, and conference rooms. Required items include workstations, desks, chairs, collaborative seating, classroom electrostatic-dissipating desks, booths, couches, and conference-room furniture.
The delivery order was awarded on a limited-sources basis under FAR 8.4, Only One Source (except brand name). Business Interiors was the only source capable of providing the required furnishings and services at the required level of quality because it was already integrated with the City of Hoover’s concurrent NCFI facility-expansion project. Its project-specific furniture layouts, approved product configurations, infrastructure coordination, and installation sequencing were necessary to ensure compatibility with the facility’s architectural plans, fixed furniture, power and data connections, construction schedule, and installation activities.
Use of another vendor would have required duplicative site surveys, design and engineering coordination, product matching, and separate delivery and installation planning, creating increased cost, schedule delay, and integration risk.
The attached redacted justification provides the supporting rationale for this award.
