About this file
This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification for a furniture procurement by the 375th Contracting Squadron (375 CONS) at Scott Air Force Base. The acquisition involves purchasing Steelcase brand executive furniture for rooms 201-205 in Building 1961 to replace existing furniture and maintain a consistent aesthetic across the Command, Control, Comm & Cyber Systems (TCJ6) Directorate. The procurement includes specific furniture items such as Gesture and Move chairs, monitor arms, power strips, cable management trays, cabinets, desks, lateral files, and panel skins, with detailed specifications for each item.
The justification highlights that Steelcase furniture is already installed in other buildings, and procuring the same brand ensures uniformity in fabric, design, and finish. Market research was conducted by reviewing UNICOR, AbilityOne, and GSA Advantage websites, with no suitable alternatives found. A Sources Sought notice was published on SAM.gov, which yielded interest from two small business vendors. As a result, the contracting team plans to solicit the requirement as a small business set-aside to leverage competition. The estimated delivery lead time is 60 days after contract award, with the total estimated dollar value redacted in the document.

The certified Purchase Request (PR) F3ST905231A002 was received on August 21, 2025. The total estimated dollar value of this acquisition is $ , which is based on the mission partner's independent market research. This purchase is commercial in nature, and its estimated delivery lead time is 60 days After contract award (ARO) .
DAFFARS 5313.501 and FAR 13.501(a)
Steelcase furniture is currently installed in two other Command, Control, Comm & Cyber System buildings within B1961, specifically in rooms 201-205. Procuring Steelcase furniture ensures consistent aesthetics (fabric, design, and finish) across all USTRANSCOM facilities. This standardization is critical for maintaining a cohesive and professional work environment. No other commercial product meets this requirement.
Steelcase products are exclusively distributed and supported through a network of authorized resellers. These resellers provide essential services, including technical support, warranty repairs, and after-warranty service, ensuring a consistent customer experience aligned with Steelcase's brand promise. Using an authorized reseller is critical to maintain the investment in Steelcase's unique design and features.
After search of f mandatory sources, including AbilityOne, DoD ESI, GSA 2GIT, CCS III, and UNICOR, no vendors were identified who could fulfill the requirement for Steelcase Furniture. Sources Sought was posted on GSA ebuy Advantage with no results. To broaden the search, a Sources Sought notice (ID FA440725QNC05) was published on SAM.gov.
The responses from two small business vendors expressing interest in the requirement. Based on these results, it has been determined that soliciting this requirement as a small business set-aside through SAM.gov is in the Government's best interest, as it will leverage adequate competition among qualified small businesses.
The CO anticipates the cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable through adequate competition through SAM.gov. This is based on the findings through Sources Sought on SAM.gov Notice ID FA440725QNC05 on 15 Sept 2025.

Market research was conducted by reviewing the UNICOR website, the AbilityOne website, and GSA Advantage to determine the availability of the required items. UNICOR did not offer the necessary products and the AbilityOne Program did not list suitable products to meet the Government's specifications. Following Sources Sought notices posted on both sources it has been determined that soliciting this requirement as a small business set-aside through SAM.gov is in the Government's best interest, as it will leverage adequate competition among qualified small businesses. A firm fixed price delivery order will be awarded to the vendor who can meet the requirements and provide the best value to the Government.
