Attachment 4 - Instructions for Use of Government Sources.pdf

In the Air Force, category management is a business approach focused on an organization’s mission. The bottom line is to deliver more mission capability per dollar spent. Air Force category managers are functional domain experts, not contracting officers, who have procurement personnel, data analysts and others on their teams. Air Force category managers have been appointed for 6 of 10 common goods and services categories including furniture.

There are two Strategic Sourcing programs in place, office seating and executive office and conference furniture (wooden case goods). Both of these programs were restricted to Small

Businesses and are compliant with the Buy American Act as well as the Berry Amendment concerning fabrics.

While both of these products are part of this solicitation you are hereby directed to utilize our mandatory vendors under clauses 52.251-1 and 252.251-7000 or your proposal will not be considered for award. If you receive the award, the Contracting Officer will issue you an authorization to purchase as required in DFARS PGI 251.102.

You will include a copy of the quote you receive so that the USAF CO can ensure your selected vendor has met the pricing in his award.

Since the automated procedures set up for USAF units to use are not available to you, the list of vendors, award numbers and POCs are provided in this attachment. Please use this list to obtain your quotes and make your selection. Be sure to ask chair supplier for the available Berry compliant fabrics. The 8 types of chair descriptions are attached and the items highlighted are for you to select which feature you want.
