--REMODELING AND RECONFIGURATION OF 13 ALLSTEEL CONCENSYS STATIONS.

The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity intends to award a sole source contract to Office Environment International, Inc., located in Arlington, Virginia, for the remodeling and reconfiguration of 13 Allsteel Concensys Stations at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. This award is to ensure that the office furniture maintains consistency and uniformity with other offices within the department. The decision to procure through a sole source basis is justified by the risk of substantial delays if the requirement were to be competed, as Office Environment International, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's needs. The procurement will be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which permits other than full and open competition procedures. No solicitation number exists, but for reference, PR Number W74MYF8346N519 should be used. This notice does not constitute a request for competitive quotes; however, any interested parties may submit written evidence demonstrating their ability to fulfill the contract requirements and the potential benefits of competition. Responses must be received within fifteen days of this notice, after which the contract will be awarded without further announcement if no viable alternatives are presented. The government point of contact for this action is Nicola Ohaegbu, reachable via email.
