    The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) under the Department of Homeland Security is preparing to award a firm fixed-price delivery order for Kimball office furniture to support office renovations at its Headquarters Memorial Building in Washington, D.C. The justification, identified as Limited-Sources Justification (LSJ) FY24-0058, cites that only Kimball International Marketing, Inc. can provide the necessary supplies due to the unique compatibility of their furniture with existing pieces, which is critical for maintaining a consistent and efficient office environment. The total estimated value remains unspecified, but delivery is expected within one year from the award date. Market research concluded that alternative furniture options do not possess the required unique features or compatibility, reinforcing the necessity to limit the procurement to Kimball's standard product line. The Contracting Officer determined this acquisition represents the best value for the Government, having already established fair pricing through the General Services Administration (GSA) pricing agreements. The USSS will also post the requirement on SAM.gov, ensuring transparency and compliance with federal regulations. Overall, this action is designed to streamline furniture management and maintain a cohesive office aesthetic while permitting flexibility for future reconfigurations.
