The government seeks quotes for a 100% small business set-aside procurement of office furniture and space planning services. The goal is to outfit two sections of an Air National Guard base, requiring vendors to provide and install furniture according to a specified Statement of Work (SOW).
The SOW mandates furnishing and installing office furniture for the 151st IS Asia Flight and IS Command Staff Sections in Building 302, with deliveries and installations completed by September 30, 2024. Vendors must submit quotes electronically, including space planning layouts and installation plans, with submissions due by August 1, 2024.
A site visit is scheduled for July 17, 2024, allowing potential vendors to assess the workspace and submit informed quotes. The procurement emphasizes compliance with various federal regulations, incorporating numerous FAR and DFARS clauses that govern the process and contractor obligations. Evaluation of quotes will likely focus on the extent to which vendors can meet the specific office furniture requirements outlined in the SOW.
The document is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a workspace upgrade involving office furniture at Building 302/169 IS, issued by the Utah Air National Guard. Amendment 0001, dated August 13, 2024, updates the Statement of Work (SOW) to reflect new design requirements. It necessitates that all offerors provide design services, including a layout and materials list to demonstrate compliance with the revised SOW. The submission deadline for quotations is extended to August 20, 2024, at 3:00 PM MT.
The solicitation is a request for quotation (RFQ) prepared in accordance with FAR guidelines and emphasizes compliance to designated requirements and evaluation criteria. The procurement aligns with NAICS code 337214 for Office Furniture Manufacturing and is a 100% Small Business Set Aside. Offerors are instructed to submit quotations via email, ensuring their proposals are complete and valid for at least 30 days after the close.
The centerpiece is the need for installation and delivery of office furniture at the Roland R. Wright Air National Guard Base, with specific requirements detailed in an attached SOW.

The solicitation W50S9A-24-Q-A012 aims for the procurement of office furniture for the Utah Air National Guard (UTANG), with specific requirements and guidelines outlined in a Statement of Work (SOW). Notably, contractors are instructed not to disclose the military organization’s identity, with delivery anticipated by September 30, 2024. However, this date is flexible, and contractors must provide projected timelines post-award. Security measures mandate that contractors must be U.S. citizens and restrict electronic devices on-site. The furniture installation team will need to consider current office layouts and requirements for desks, including L-shape desks and workspace allocations according to specified room needs. The document also details acceptable standards for furniture dimensions, cable requirements, and mesh chair specifications, while clarifying furniture removal procedures. Additionally, logistical concerns regarding delivery to the first floor are addressed. This document serves as part of the government’s formal request for proposals and is crucial for ensuring all responders understand the parameters for fulfilling this specific procurement need.
The primary objective of this procurement is to obtain new office furniture and professional installation services for Building 302 within the Roland R. Wright Air National Guard Base. The furniture must be commercial-grade, with specific requirements for materials and finishes. The contractor will provide design services for space planning and furniture layout, ensuring precise measurements and alignment with building spaces.
For the weapons floor and specified offices (108D, 108E, 110C, 110D, and RM 114), the contractor will install modular furniture systems, electric height-adjustable desks, office chairs, and mobile pedestals. The furniture must adhere to detailed technical specifications, including dimensions and functional capabilities. The contractor is responsible for precise installation, including cable management, power connections, and furniture assembly, ensuring building and furniture manufacturer guidelines are followed.
The scope also encompasses the provision of a project manager by the contractor, who will act as a single point of contact during the project. The manager must coordinate with the government's contracting officer and ensure compliance with the detailed requirements. The contractor is liable for any damage caused during the installation and must use manufacturer-recommended cleaning agents for post-installation furniture cleaning.
The contract is expected to be firm-fixed-price, with an estimated value of $200,000 to $300,000. Submittal deadlines are expected to be within 14 days of contract issuance, with a projected period of performance of approximately 30 days after contract award for installation and related services. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize quality management, technical compliance, and price.
The 169th Intelligence Squadron (IS) requires the provision and installation of new office layouts, workspaces, and furniture for building 302. The contractor must deliver all necessary personnel, tools, and materials to design and install mid-grade commercial office furniture across designated rooms, ensuring they meet specified requirements. Key tasks include planning space utilization, selecting appropriate materials, and ensuring the furniture's assembly and installation adhere to operational standards.
The work requires both careful design and adherence to technical specifications, including electric height adjustable desks, mobile pedestals, mesh office chairs, and cubicle walls equipped with power outlets. An emphasis is placed on quality control throughout the process. Contractors must verify that all personnel can access the Roland R. Wright Air National Guard Base and comply with security protocols.
