Award Notice - Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Conference Table

The Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Office of Acquisition Management, issued a sole-source purchase order to Nevers Industries for a custom Symposia conference table valued at $24,377.77 under FAR 12.102(a), citing unique technical requirements that only this vendor can meet. The table, destined for delivery and installation at the Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge facility in San Diego, California, features a 9' x 15' elliptical design with integrated power and data modules, ADA-compliant height adjustment, walnut veneer finish, and HSI-specific branding. Market research confirmed no other vendor could satisfy the full range of functional, aesthetic, and durability standards, leading to the non-competitive award despite public notice. Nevers Industries, identified as a small business, is the exclusive source capable of delivering the required customization, and the procurement was conducted as a firm-fixed-price order without options or line-item breakdowns. Contract administration is managed from Irving, Texas, with Michelle E. Levine as the contracting officer responsible for award and acceptance, which will occur at the San Diego delivery site based on compliance with ADA requirements, build specifications, and warranty terms. No formal evaluation factors, packaging standards, inspection protocols, or clause citations beyond the sole-source justification were documented, and while the contract includes no detailed payment instructions, accounting codes, or COTR assignments, it was executed electronically through SAM.gov with a digital signature dated June 25, 2026, and publicly posted on June 29, 2026.
