Dep DIR Conference room modernization package

This government document provides clarification on a solicitation for purchasing Bright Chair Tangier High Back Swivel Chairs. Key clarifications include that the prime contractor must be directly authorized by Bright Chair Company as a reseller at the time of proposal submission, and the procurement is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside, correcting an error in the RFP that mentioned a HUBZone set-aside. Delivery requirements mandate that the 16 required chairs must arrive assembled and blanket-wrapped directly to the Fort Meade DISA warehouse loading dock between 0800 and 1400. No partial deliveries will be accepted, and there is no requirement for inside delivery, setup, or the removal of existing furniture. Lastly, the document clarifies a typographical error in the original solicitation, confirming that the total quantity required is 16 chairs rather than 125,000.

This Justification for Limited Source/Sole Source/Brand Name document outlines a procurement by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for Bright Tangier High Back Swivel chairs. The contracting activity is the DISA Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO). The acquisition, executed as a Firm Fixed Price, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable action, aims to replace existing conference room chairs at DISA Headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland, with a delivery timeline of six months after receipt of award. The primary objective is to standardize seating in the Deputy Director’s conference room to match the premium, ergonomically proven Bright Tangier chairs currently used in the Director’s Conference Room. Utilizing this specific brand ensures aesthetic and design consistency in colorway, materials, and silhouette, while resolving safety and ergonomic issues associated with the current seating. Additionally, standardizing to a single manufacturer streamlines facility maintenance, replacement parts, and warranty management. Market research conducted between July and August 2026 indicated that Bright Chair Company does not sell directly to the government, and the chairs are unavailable on GSA contracts. However, because the manufacturer utilizes authorized commercial furniture resellers, the procurement will be structured as a total small business set-aside through these authorized representatives.

Specifically, it requests pricing for 16 Bright Chair Tangier High Back Swivel Chairs (Manufacturer Part Number: 334N5V) upholstered in black leather, along with associated freight and delivery services.

Vendors must provide unit and extended pricing for the chairs and shipping as part of their proposal.
