Systems Furniture

This contract, identified by solicitation number IHS1524315, is a combined synopsis and solicitation issued by the Phoenix Area Indian Health Service under the Department of Health and Human Services for the procurement of systems furniture to be installed at the Uintah and Ouray Health Clinic in Fort Duchesne, Utah. The solicitation is set aside exclusively for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) firms, requiring respondents to self-certify their status as small businesses under this specific socioeconomic category through SAM.gov. The work involves reconfiguring existing office spaces by supplying and installing new system furniture, including electrically adjustable sit-to-stand work surfaces, and extending phone and data connections to all workstations while preserving and relocating existing furnishings. All installation must occur after hours or on weekends to minimize disruption, and the contractor is responsible for complete cleanup and debris disposal. Performance must adhere to the International Building Code and OSHA standards, with final acceptance conducted on-site by the Government after verification of workmanship, safety compliance, and adherence to facility policies. The contract has a firm 30-day performance period starting from the Notice to Proceed, with FOB Destination terms requiring the vendor to bear all shipping costs and risks until delivery. Contract pricing is evaluated based on total value and reasonableness, with award based on best value considering price, technical acceptability, delivery reliability, and past performance through PPIRS and FAPIIS, rather than on a lowest price technically acceptable basis. All invoices must be submitted electronically through the Department of Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and payment will be processed via electronic funds transfer to the designated remittance address in Phoenix, Arizona. Offerors must have active SAM registration, possess a valid UEI or CAGE code, and comply with numerous FAR clauses covering equal opportunity, veteran and disability employment reporting, labor standards exemptions, minimum wage requirements, paid sick leave, trafficking in persons, privacy training, electronic technology accessibility, and prohibitions against certain foreign contractors and inverted corporations. Compliance with executive compensation reporting, subcontractor award disclosures, and service contract reporting obligations is mandated. No formal attachments, packaging specifications, or detailed pricing data are provided in the solicitation, and proposals must be submitted exclusively via the IPP portal by the stated deadline, with no physical submissions permitted. Oversight is handled by a Contracting Officer in Phoenix and a Contracting Officer’s Representative based at the Fort Duchesne site.
