Department of Commerce Enterprise-wide Furniture

The Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary awarded this single-award Master IDIQ for enterprise-wide furniture procurement on July 3, 2023, with ordering authority extending through July 4, 2028. The vehicle is set aside for small business and carries a shared ceiling of $60 million, though only $5.1 million has been obligated across 73 task orders to date, representing roughly 8.5 percent of the available capacity.

Flatwater Solutions Company and Mark G. Anderson Consultants Inc. are the two awarded primes, holding 47 and 26 task orders respectively and capturing the full $5.1 million combined potential value with no participation from other contractors. Ordering momentum has slowed significantly in 2026, with only 3 orders placed year-to-date compared to 29 in 2024 and 20 in 2023. Recent orders average in the $50,000 to $150,000 range, with firm fixed-price pricing predominating.

The vehicle procures systems furniture, office furniture, case goods, seating, filing, office storage cabinets, and design and installation services across Department of Commerce locations throughout the continental United States and overseas. Task orders reflect actual procurement activity: cubicle design and build, workstation reconfiguration, furniture dismantle and removal, acoustic panels, conference room and cafeteria furnishings, and related installation and delivery.

Funding is concentrated within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which holds 45 percent of obligated value (33 orders, $1.6 million), followed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (16 orders, $1.9 million) and the Office of the Secretary (15 orders, $972 thousand). The remaining four customer agencies collectively account for less than 5 percent of activity.

The set-aside mix diverges from the vehicle's small-business-only designation: 67 percent of orders carry no set-aside restriction, 30 percent are small-business set-aside, and 1 percent each are competitive 8(a) and partial small business. All task orders use firm fixed-price or fixed-price award-fee structures with completion durations of six months to roughly two years.

The objective is to obtain systems furniture, office furniture, case goods, seating, filing, office storage cabinets, and related design and installation services for the Department of Commerce (DOC), its Bureaus and Offices, for locations throughout the continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental United States (OCONUS).
