Furniture Maintenance Support and Interior Design Services

This action will result in a modification to the current Contract, SP4705-14-C-0003, with U.S. Business Interior, Inc. (USBI). The Government will negotiate directly with USBI on a sole source basis under FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is being posted since this option under FAR 52.217-8 was not previously evaluated as part of the initial contract award for SP4705-14-C-0003 or SP4705-10-C-0061 . On 30 September 2010, Defense Contracting Services Office awarded contract SP4705-10-C-0061 using full and open competition. On 06 November 2013, contract number SP4705-10-C-0061 was changed to SP4705-14-C-0003 due to software limitations of the DLA's new enterprise-wide Contract Writing and Records Management System (eProcurement). The 52.217-8 option period will be exercised for a four month period. This option exercise will be at the current rates specified in the current contract, as allowed by FAR 52.217-8, and will extend the period of performance end date from 01 October 2015 to 31 January 2016. USBI is the only responsible offeror for exercise of this option, as the Government would experience unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements if this option was not exercised before the current contract expiration date. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The Government will not be responsible for any cost incurred by interested parties in preparation of information or documents related to this option exercise. A determination by the Government to exercise the aforementioned option clause and not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any responses to this notice of contract action shall be submitted to Ms. Beverly J. Williams at Beverly.j.williams@dla.mil no later than 28 September 2015 by 12:00 NOON EDT (Eastern Daylight Time).
