    The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) seeks to award a sole-source contract for the procurement of ten Steelcase Workstation/Kits required for new supervisory offices at its Columbus site. These workstations must be compatible and interchangeable with existing Steelcase office walls due to proprietary connectors necessary for secure installation and electrical integration. The estimated delivery period ranges from November 8, 2024, to February 6, 2025. The justification for the sole-source request falls under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), allowing procurement without full competition based on factors like urgency and exclusive licensing agreements. Market research indicates that Loth, Inc. is the only authorized reseller for Steelcase in the Columbus area. As Steelcase products are warranted only when using compatible components, the rationale supports efficiency and cost-effectiveness, as further competitive procurement is deemed impractical. Finally, certifications from both technical and contracting officers affirm the request's good faith, with plans for a careful determination of fair pricing for the services provided.
