About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) Worksheet containing clarifications and responses to vendor questions regarding solicitation 75D301-26-Q-79184 for furniture installation of sit-stand workstations at CDC Chamblee Campus Building 106, floors 3-7, located at 4770 Buford Highway, Chamblee, GA 30341.
The project requires conversion of existing Allsteel workstation cubicles into CDC-approved electric sit-stand workstations. Key specifications include: Exemplis SitOnIt Symmetry Switchback 3-Stage Electric sit-stand bases; new worksurfaces sized per typical requirements (24x66 for Typical A, with 3-4 inch reductions for tight fits); standard laminate finishes matching existing workstations (brand name or equivalent acceptable); horizontal and vertical cable managers; 16' surge protector extension cords; and desktop power monuments with 2 outlets, 2 USB-A ports, and 2 USB-C ports. Keyboard tray reuse parameters, deduct values, and worksurface compatibility with height-adjustable bases will be determined by CDC design team during field verification post-award. Offerors must provide three project examples demonstrating similar scope and complexity completed within five years. Pricing should be presented as Firm Fixed NTE Price with typical deduct values for tops and keyboard trays. The worksheet clarifies that quantity counts from the most recent site survey dated 7/21/2026 should be used, with successful offerors required to field-verify counts prior to order placement. Additional clarifications address worksurface sizing, laminate color matching, storage contingencies beyond 30 days, and coordination with CDC LMSO and DSSO warehouses for excess furniture logistics and documentation.

| 1 |
| The RFQ give the quantities of sit stand needed, but there is also two site surveys that give a RECOUNT which some of the numbers changing. Both site survey give different counts. Should we quote based off the RFQ or the recount numbers provided on the site survey? |
0. I assume the most recent survey on 7/21/2026 would be the count we should go back if we are quoting by the recount site survey?
Use the 7/21/26 (most recent) counts. The successful offeror must field verify counts prior to placing the orders.
Refer to typical totals excel spreadsheet.

| Typical A instructs to provide a new sit stand desk (worksurface and base) that is 24x66 which is clear. However, all other typicals mention that both the worksurface to remain AND to replace the worksurface with a sit stand desk. So, are we to provide new sit stand desks for all typicals/areas? Or is Typical A the only one that will get a completely new sit stand desk (worksurface and base)? |
| Quote using a new worksurface sized per the typical for the sit stand in each cubicle. Size down the worksurface by 3” to 4” if it is a tight fit. If it is not a tight fit, the worksurface doesn’t need to be sized down by 3” to 4”. New sit stand worksurface must move up and down with space between tops and fabric panels. |
| 3 |
| Where a worksurface is to be provided, the RFQ advises to match the existing finishes in the Allsteel workstations. What is the existing laminate we are to match? Or should it should be a standard white laminate? |
| Brand name or equivalent is acceptable. It doesn’t have to be an Allsteel exact laminate color match. It should be a standard laminate color to match with a flat edge. The successful offeror must field verify color matches and get approval from CDC designer. |
| 4 |
| We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. |
| This is a new requirement. |
| 5 |
| The floor plans uploaded to SAM.gov are for Building 21, 4th and 5th floors. Can the floor plans be provided for this project? I need to confirm the counts of each typical to determine how many of each size sit stand are needed. The size of the worksurface will affect the pricing. |

DO NOT factor these attachments in your proposal.

| Please see below for a snippet of the recount document. Unfortunately, they do not. It gives me overall counts, but not what is needed for each typical. If they were all the same size surfaces or all just sit stand bases then this would suffice, but since we have different scenarios I need either know the counts of each typical OR I need the go ahead from the CDC to price them all the same in order to provide accurate/competitive pricing. |
The estimated quantity for each typical per floor will be posted to sam.gov. by COB Monday, 8/10/26. Refer to typical totals excel spreadsheet.

| Are there attachment D pages for the 3rd, 6th, and 7th floors? (breakdown of each station) |

| What are the parameters for determining if the worksurfaces can be reused? |
| All sit stand worksurfaces should be counted for the quote. The successful offeror will field verify these locations with the DSSO designer after award. |
Refer to typical totals excel spreadsheet and drawings.
Provide typical deduct values top and keyboard tray.
The successful offeror will have CDC Chamblee walk through deducts.

| Yes, the CDC design team will make the dertimination as to whether a worksurface can be reused. |
| 10 |
| Will there be coordination with the team at DMSO to deliver the large quantities of excessed furniture items? |
Excess warehouse loading dock - staff, DSSO Storage warehouse loading – staff, Warehouse Security, and the DSSO designer for deliveries to CDC Chamblee warehouse.
Coordination with LMSO Excess and DSSO warehouses will be the awardee’s responsibility as well as asccociated required documentation.

| The product listed in your solicitation is the Exemplis Switchback height adjustable bases with a reconfiguration of Allsteel workstations. |
We do offer a height adjustable table, Altitude, that meets and/or exceeds the Switchback specifications. Would you consider our Allsteel Altitude height adjustable base in a submission from one of our dealers?
