    The document presents a Single Source Justification for the acquisition of additional workstations at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The contracting activity, AFLCMC/PZIBA, seeks to procure Haworth (Compose) workstations to ensure compatibility with existing furniture and maintain product consistency. The justification for a single-source procurement is based on the proprietary nature of the Haworth products, including specialized connectors and warranty claims that can only be handled through authorized dealers. Elements IV is confirmed as the sole authorized dealer for this region. A thorough market study indicated that no alternative manufacturers could meet the required specifications. Going forward, the document suggests that market surveys will be conducted when furniture requirements do not require integration with existing setups.
