Explain: The furniture was purchased, delivered and installed by Govsolutions, Inc. They know the furniture and how to disassemble these and most importantly how to reassemble them correctly. They gave the lowest quote as well. IGE was done by DOT OST and the cost came out at $30,285.65 to move the furniture. A ROM to purchase new furniture came out at $145,000+.

It is more economical for FRA to sole source to Govsolutions than it is to go out and solicit other vendors for the same service due to their expertise and price quoted. 3.
