5675--Corian Solid Surface Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs Buffalo VAMC intends to award a sole source contract for the purchase of bulk Corian Lava Drift solid surface sheets. The sheets will be used to replace old and damaged countertops at the Buffalo and Batavia VA Medical Centers. The contract will be awarded to Parksite, LLC, as they are the only vendor with direct OEM authorization to distribute Corian products in the region. The estimated amount for this procurement is $110,000.00. • The contract is for a one-time firm fixed price type contract. • The sheets must be manufactured by Corian with specific dimensions. • The contract is a sole source procurement due to the OEM's distribution restrictions. • Market research was conducted to determine if alternative manufacturers could provide the item, but none were found.
