3. Statutory Authority: 13.106-1(b)(1), Teknion Furniture is an international company with a worldwide network of offices, showrooms and dealers. Teknion GSA contract number is GS-27F-0013V. There is one local authorized dealer; Facilitec Inc. that can provide both the Teknion system furniture and the Darren had case furniture. Facilitec Inc. installed the original Teknion system / Darren furniture in 2015 and is the local authorize dealer /installer for Teknion system furniture in the St. Louis region. If the government were to purchase these items on two separate contracts, the cost would be higher. By going with a single vendor, it saves the government both time and money.

4. Description of Action:

The reconfiguration and installation of Teknion system furniture / workstation in the IG office with current and new parts plus one hard case office setup at Bldg. 5160. This contract will be Firm fixed priced order through Open Market contractor Facilitec Inc.

(b) Any new Teknion furniture installations or reconfigurations must connect and bolt up to the current Teknion furniture type and style within DISA GLOBAL. No other furniture brand will bolt up to our current Teknion system furniture. Currently DISA GLOBAL has 640 Teknion system furniture workstation that were installed in 2015.

Average life cycle of Teknion systems furniture is 20 years. It would be too costly to switch over to a different band at this time since we still have 15 years of useable life available. Our cost to replace all 640 workstation would be Since we are only

IG office and hard case furniture, DISA Global Bldg. 5160 asking to add one workstation, it would not be advantageous or cost effective to switch to a different brand of style at this time.

(c) This is the first time any reconfigure of our open floor cubicle workspace has taken place since in 2015.

(d) If we are not able to stay with our current type and style it could lead to DISA

GLOBAL facilities having an unprofessional appearance. DISA GLOBAL has an open cube floor plan. The unique color scheme Teknion offers would be hard, if not impossible, to match by a different furniture brand. Any other brand would not bolt up to our furniture it would look out of place, cause reconfiguration problems and take up more floor space / square footage. To keep DISA GLOBAL is open floor cube space looking and flowing normal, Teknion Brand systems furniture is required by the Government. Also keeping our standard office setup constant with the other 53 offices in the bldg. only Darren Hard case furniture will work. This project requires the reconfiguration of four existing Teknion systems workstation into five workstation plus one new Darren office setup. This work includes the integration of new and old Teknion furniture parts and one set of brand name Darren hard case office furniture
