Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Sole-Source)
- Product/Service Code: J071 (Maintenance, Repair And Rebuilding Of Equipment: Furniture)
- Estimated Total Value: $49,000 (e.g., Leather chair conservation: $9,036.44; Dining furniture restoration: $39,784.88)
- Published Date: May 6, 2026
- Response Date: Not applicable (Sole-Source Justification)
Evaluation & Justification
The acquisition is conducted under 41 USC 3304, implemented by FAR 6.103, citing FAR 6.103-1 (only one responsible source). QHAPAQ ÑAN SAC is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the requirement without unacceptable risk to the historically significant property. This is due to their specialized cultural heritage conservation expertise, proven past performance at the Ambassador's Residence, and unique technical capabilities not offered by general furniture repair vendors. Market research confirmed that while general furniture repair vendors exist, none demonstrated the required conservation-level capability or experience with historically significant furnishings. The cost was determined fair and reasonable based on an Independent Government Estimate (IGE) and comparison with similar services.
