Office Furniture removal and installation, and painting.
The Government intents is to solicit to three (3) vendors that attended a site visit scheduled by the requesting office.
FAR 12.203(a) makes it clear that there is a ceiling of $350,000.00 (SAT) for oral solicitations. FAR 5.101(a)(2)(ii) makes it clear it is not needed to solicit when oral solicitations are used. Based on how the GAO interpreted both provisions in Matter of Phoenix Env’t Design, Inc., B-422950 (Dec 10. 2024), it is indeed possible that oral solicitations could potentially be used in acquisitions where the IGE was between $20,000.00 and $350,000.00, as, they indicated that 5.101(a)(2)(ii) overrode 5.101’s general rule requiring that the Contracting Officer is to post for all requirements above $20,000.00.
An oral solicitation for a requirement in the $20,000.00 to $350,000.00 range depends on if the Contracting Officer can satisfy the requirement of FAR 13.106-1(c)(1)(ii) that oral solicitation is “more efficient” than using electronic means.
