West Wing Chandeliers

The contract for West Wing Chandeliers is a sole-source acquisition by the General Services Administration’s PBS Centralized Acquisition Services, under solicitation number 47PH5426P0004, issued on June 5, 2026, for the removal of historic chandeliers and installation of new custom fixtures with integrated electrical systems in the White House West Wing. The work must be completed over a single weekend preceding the June 2026 America 250 Celebration, driven by an unusual and compelling urgency recognized under FAR 6.302-2, which justifies the non-competitive award to Agile1Tech Corporation. This vendor is uniquely qualified due to prior installations of identical fixtures within the White House complex, demonstrated expertise in historic preservation, structural bracing of unsupported ceilings, and gas-to-electric lighting conversions, along with authorized access to the secure White House compound. No other contractor possesses the necessary combination of technical capability, historical experience, and security clearance required to meet the mission-critical timeline. The contract has no formally defined pricing, line items, or total value disclosed, and no standard FAR clauses are listed, though compliance with FAR 6.103-2, FAR 6.104-1, and GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-06 is cited in the justification. Agile1Tech Corporation, identified as an 8(a) small business with UEI D7V1RNQ693B1, is the only eligible contractor, and its 8(a) status triggers ongoing reporting obligations under FAR Subpart 19.8 despite the award being made under urgency, not an 8(a) set-aside. Performance is to occur at the White House West Wing in Washington, D.C., with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Government’s Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative at the installation site. No packaging, marking, FOB, or option clauses are specified, and the documentation focuses exclusively on vendor uniqueness, urgency, and security access rather than formal contract terms or pricing structures. Key contacts include Kimberly Travis as the Contracting Officer and William R. Atchinson as the Contracting Officer’s Representative, both based at the GSA office in Washington, DC.
