The Arkansas Air National Guard Headquarters has conducted market research to justify the sole-source acquisition of furniture from Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) for the 189th Airlift Wing. The research, complying with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), evaluated FPI's offerings against private sector options, concluding that FPI provides comparable prices and quality with a delivery time of under 60 days. Given that FPI is a mandatory source due to its compliance with existing furniture styles across the campus, a sole-source procurement is deemed necessary to maintain consistency and avoid the high costs of replacing all existing furniture. The proposed total expenditure for this acquisition is estimated at $115,689.08, which is considered fair and reasonable based on market research that included pricing from both FPI and private sources. FPI's pricing aligns well with comparable items, thus justifying the decision to procure directly from them. This purchase will also include delivery, setup, and waste removal services, emphasizing the integrated nature of the acquisition. Overall, the memorandum supports the decision to utilize FPI in alignment with regulatory guidelines while addressing the government's operational needs.
