Fabric Panels for Cubicles Product Description

In order to maintain seamless appearance and maintain office branding, the cubicle fabric panel replacements shall have fabric that matches the current cubicle fabric.

Fabric used shall match the current fabric. Fabric shall be adhered in a way that it will give the appearance of a cubicle wall. Any glues or adhesion methods used on the fabric need to last a minimum of five years covered under the warranty. Fabric shall be stapled to a board that has double sided adhesive Velcro strips to allow the fabric panel to hang on the exterior or interior of the existing cubicle wall. The panels shall have the capability to use push pins on both sides. Each CLIN will describe the interior and exterior panel components required for each cubicle system fabric panel replacement. All measurements in the CLIN descriptions are width (W) by height (H).

Fabric Description:

Fabric: 100% Polyester with Stain Repellent Finish Color: Designtex (blue) Brunswick 6307-601 fabric (Fabric needs to be brand name or an exact pigment match) Weight: 12.7 ounces/linear yard (394 g/lm) Width: 54" (137 cm) Color: Navy Blue with Textured Pattern ASTM: E 84 Unadhered Class A, CA TB 117-2013, NFPA Abrasion: 100,000 Wyzenbeek double rubs (CD) Lightfastness: 40 hours Fabric must be made in USA and comply with the Berry Amendment.

Board Description: All fabric needs to be stretched around a foam board. The board needs to fire and mildew retardant (see image 1 below of the current board that has a reflective coating applied to the foam board). The board shall have the capability for the use of push pins. All boards need to be shipped with adhesive Velcro strips with one side of the adhesive stretching on all 4 back edges of the back of the panel. The Marine Corps will remove the existing panels that are worn and attach the new fabric panels with the other matching strip of Velcro. The Velcro needs to be strong enough to hold the panel in place without any movement.

The boards after being wrapped in fabric on one side, need to be between ½ and ¾ inches thick. The fabric panels need to have the capability to accept push pins so that things can be tacked to the walls. Anything other than this thickness is considered unacceptable. See below photos of current panels that should be used as a reference for what the Government need to be replaced.

Boards must comply with the Buy American Act.
