This is a Determination & Findings (D&F) document justifying a sole source acquisition from Haworth (Compose) for additional workstation panels at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Building 2015, in Ohio.

The acquisition covers furnishing additional stack-on panels for existing workstations to accommodate a new organization requiring enhanced security and privacy measures. The contractor will provide all labor, electrician services, transportation, and tools for delivery and assembly to Building 2015. The contracting activity is AFLCMC/PZIBA. The justification for sole sourcing is based on RFO 12.102(a), citing commercial product availability, with supporting authority under RFO 8.401 and GSAR 538.7104-3(a) for FSS Orders, and RFO 13.101(b) for noncommercial products. The D&F establishes that existing workstations use proprietary Haworth (Compose) connectors, and market research confirmed Haworth as the only manufacturer meeting compatibility and reconfiguration requirements for future expansion. Haworth dealers are only authorized in specified regions or territories. Elements IV, confirmed via email dated August 17, 2026, is identified as the sole authorized distributor of Haworth (Compose) brand products under the Department of Air Force Office Workplace Furniture program at Wright-Patterson AFB.
