Sole Source to EPS Corporation for Integration Space & Systems Furniture Storage/Maintenance

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division, intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order to EPS Corporation for Integration Space and Systems Furniture Maintenance, covering an 8-month period from July 2026 to February 2027. This sole source procurement is justified on the grounds that relocating the integration space to another facility would result in significant additional costs, increased risk to project timelines, and disrupted operations, making competition ineffective and inefficient. The contract includes all utilities, landscaping, WiFi, and security monitoring as part of the single deliverable, a depot facility, with no separate line item pricing disclosed. The NAICS code 493190 applies, and the estimated contract value is $25,000, triggering simplified acquisition procedures. The period of performance is tied to specific delivery windows—Monday through Friday, 0900 to 1430 local time, excluding federal holidays—with F.O.B. Destination terms placing risk of loss on the contractor until delivery at the specified location in Panama City Beach, Florida. Invoicing must occur electronically via Wide Area Workflow, and no alternative payment methods are authorized. The solicitation is evaluated on a best-value trade-off basis, prioritizing price first, followed by delivery, quality, and past performance, with no numerical weights assigned. The contract incorporates standard FAR clauses related to SAM.gov maintenance, cybersecurity protections, prohibitions on certain telecommunications equipment, executive compensation reporting, and prohibitions on inverted domestic corporations. A unique restriction bars EPS Corporation from competing for any other NAVSEA work during performance and for three years afterward, serving as an organizational conflict of interest mitigation. No key personnel, security clearances, or specific technical specifications are detailed, and no formal attachments or packaging requirements are specified. The Contracting Officer is listed with contact information through Jamell L. Kilgore, and responses were due by June 25, 2026, with no amendments or modifications noted.
