The estimated contract value is $132,396.00, and interested parties must submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet the specific requirements by January 26, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, to the designated contacts, Brian Algeo and Candice Snow, via email.

The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT/CE) requires a sole-source acquisition for Haworth systems furniture and flooring for Phase 2 of its workspace modernization project in Building F20643, Room 318, at Wright-Patterson AFB. This justification, under FAR 6.302-1, states that the new furniture must be identical and fully compatible with existing Haworth furniture from Phase 1 due to proprietary connections, ensuring interoperability, seamless reconfigurations, and a uniform work environment. Market research identified Elements IV as the sole authorized vendor for Haworth products in the region. The estimated cost is $132,396.00. Future acquisitions will focus on functional and physical characteristics to avoid brand-name restrictions and maximize competition, although this specific project necessitates standardization due to prior investment.

Attachment 1 - SOW - F20643-318 AFIT CE Furniture-ph2.pdf

The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for a furniture and flooring package for Facility 20643, Room 318, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH (Project #: 2025TP240A). This project is a competitive award using Open Market/GSA product lines, with a sole source requirement for Systems Furniture/Modular Components and Flooring from Haworth and Mohawk, respectively, to match FY25 orders. The contractor will provide all supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and a certified electrician for installation, including system furniture hook-up to building power, 30 days of storage, and an itemized quote. Key responsibilities include design services, adherence to specific power and communication requirements (UFC 3-520-01), repair of damaged flooring/ceiling, and compliance with DAF Mandatory Carpet BPA. The contractor must validate site conditions, finalize finishes with the Interior Designer (Tina Penick), and ensure all work meets federal, state, and local laws, and base requirements. The project requires a contract manager and a project manager with specific experience, and adherence to strict base access and security procedures. The delivery date is no later than February 30, 2026.

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/PZIBA), on behalf of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT/CE), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Space and Asset Management Inc. dba Elements IV Interiors, 3680 Wyse Rd, Dayton, OH 45414, for the procurement and installation of systems furniture and flooring at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

The requirement is for all supplies, labor, and services necessary to complete Phase 2 of a workspace modernization project. This is a follow-on project that requires new workstations to be physically compatible and fully interchangeable with the existing Haworth furniture system installed during Phase 1. The Government's market research indicates that Haworth products utilize proprietary physical connections, and no other manufacturer produces a compatible system that can meet the Government's essential need for a single, integrated, and reconfigurable workspace.

In accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the justification for the lack of competition is that the required proprietary product is only available from a single authorized source. Therefore, this acquisition is being conducted under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1.

Submission Instructions and Points of Contact:

Interested parties who believe they can satisfy the requirements must provide a capability statement with clear and convincing evidence of their ability to do so. The statement must demonstrate the vendor's capability to provide systems furniture that is 100% physically compatible and interchangeable with the existing Haworth system, including its proprietary connections. A simple statement of capability is not sufficient.

All responses, questions, and capability statements shall be submitted via email to the following points of contact no later than January 26, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
