No, the dollar value is where the buyer was obtaining oral quotes.

We have clothing items to purchase; quotes rec'd are under $100K therefore Berry Act does not apply; the items are made in Thailand and sold by an American company - the customer wants this particular brand only. Thailand is not a qualifying country under Part 25 - Buy American - not sure how to proceed. Any assistance would be great.

I want to thank everyone for their information. It is all very good and there are several things we did not even think about. Again, thank you for the input.

Need assistance - have not come across this before. We have a need to procure custom painting original work over $25,000. We are not sure how to compete this requirement as we know this would not be a sole source. It is unique as the artist/company that receives the award will have to paint original subjects that are unique to the customer. It would not be likely that there would be artists out on FedBizOpps looking for work or even CCR registered. Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
