55--Notice of Intent to sole source procurement of wooden office furniture

The North Dakota Army National Guard plans to award a sole source contract to the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for the procurement of miscellaneous wooden office furniture. This decision is based on the department’s previous experience purchasing office furniture from Rough Rider Prison Industries, which has demonstrated superior quality, craftsmanship, and the capability to provide onsite repairs and modifications. The furniture being acquired is intended to outfit an office building with pieces that match those previously purchased from Rough Rider Prison Industries, ensuring uniformity and compatibility throughout the organization. This procurement ensures that new furniture will seamlessly integrate with existing pieces, facilitating interchangeability and maintaining a consistent office environment. The solicitation, identified as W901UZ-12-T-0010, falls under the NAICS code 337211 and was publicly posted in June 2012. The contract will be managed by the Department of Defense through the W7NT Uspfo Activity North Dakota Army National Guard, located in Bismarck, North Dakota.
