71--CONFERENCE ROOM TABLES

The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS), Delafield Road, Aspinwall, PA 15215 intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with AEGIS Business Solutions, LLC 14950 W 86th Street, Lenexa, KS 66215-6037 (a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business) for Nucraft custom-sized conference tables. The Nucraft conference tables are custom-sized as based on architectural plans. Nucraft tables are engineered to house the high tech AV equipment that the VA has now standardized on in all conference rooms. AV equipment requires hollow troughs to supply power and data through a concealed leg, into a trough that will support the entire length of the table to each grommet location. Tables were also specially selected to match the credenza and AV cabinet within the same conference room. This Notice of Intent is NOT a request for competitive quotations.
