Atachment 2 - SSJ-Single Source Justification-F20643-318 AFIT CE Furniture_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT/CE). The contract is for a complete, turnkey solution to furnish and install systems furniture and new flooring for Phase 2 of its workspace modernization project, located in Room 318 of Building F20643 at Wright-Patterson AFB. The estimated contract cost is $132,396.00, with a Purchase Request/Local ID Number of F4F5AE543A001.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on the mission-essential need for physically compatible and interchangeable supplies with existing equipment. Specifically, the Haworth furniture system procured for Phase 1 uses proprietary physical connections, and only identical Haworth-manufactured products can meet the Government's minimum requirement for a single, integrated, reconfigurable workspace. The document outlines steps to preclude future single-source awards, including defining future requirements by necessary functional and physical characteristics rather than referencing proprietary or brand-specific designs. The Contracting Officer has determined, as of 09-Jan-2026, that only a single source is reasonably available for this acquisition.
