Centricity Award Devices

The Department of Justice, through its Procurement Services Staff on behalf of the Human Resources Staff, plans to issue a sole source purchase order to Centricity for the production of award devices for the Annual Attorney General's Award Ceremony. This contract will be awarded on a noncompetitive basis under FAR 13.106 (1) (b)(1) because Centricity uniquely owns the proprietary designs, dies, and molds required to manufacture these specific awards. The awards include a wide range of honors such as the Mary Lawton Award, Excellence in various categories like Management, Information Technology, Law Enforcement, Legal Support, among others, and special recognitions like the National Security Award and Exceptional Service Awards. The decision to forego competition was made solely at the Government’s discretion, reflecting the unique capabilities and intellectual property held by Centricity. The contract, titled "Centricity Award Devices," and associated with solicitation number 15JHRS22PR0016, was posted on November 7, 2021, with the NAICS code 423940 indicating the award is categorized under miscellaneous durable goods merchant wholesalers. The place of performance and specific agency office locations are unspecified, but the contracting entity is identified as part of the Department of Justice’s Boards and Divisions Offices. This procurement is a direct purchase without requests for quotes or proposals to ensure the timely and exclusive production of these customized award items for the event.
