This large-scale replacement is necessary to address immediate ergonomic and safety concerns with our current seating, while simultaneously standardizing our office aesthetics to align with the premium environment established in the Director's Conference Room.

FAR Part 16.507-7: Items peculiar to one manufacturer

5. DEMONSTRATION OF CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR THE

NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRED:

DISA has identified the Tangier Chair—currently deployed and highly successful in the Director's Conference Room—as our corporate standard.

To ensure absolute consistency.

Aesthetic and Design Matching: Procuring the same brand name chairs, manufactured by Bright Chair Company guarantees that the colorway, fabric texture, frame materials, and overall silhouette of the 125,000 new chairs will perfectly match the existing Tangier Chairs in our Director’s Conference Room.

Sourcing from alternative manufacturers would lead to mismatched aesthetics and a fragmented corporate image.

Proven Ergonomics and Quality: The Tangier Chairs have undergone rigorous, real-world testing in our executive spaces. They provide superior grips, stable seating dynamics, and excellent lumbar support, directly resolving the "sliding" failure of our current chairs.

Operational and Maintenance Synergies: Utilizing a single manufacturer for all corporate seating simplifies facility management. It allows our operations teams to standardize replacement parts, streamline repair protocols, and manage a unified warranty agreement with a single point of contact.

Occupational Health: Replacing sliding chairs with stable, ergonomically tested Tangier Chairs will dramatically improve employee comfort, reduce absenteeism related to back pain, and foster a safer office environment.

6. MARKET RESEARCH:

Market Research was conducted from July 2026 to August 2026. The Contracting Officer (KO) reviewed the DISA Market Research Repository in July 2026. However, she was unable to find a requirement for Bright Tangier Chairs. On July 20, 2026, the KO called Amy Seeders, an MOI POC, and confirmed the products are not available on MOI’s General Services Administration (GSA) contract. Next, the KO contacted a POC with Bright Chair Company and confirmed that they do not do business directly with the Government. However, Bright Chair Company does have several authorized resellers who do business with the Government. Therefore, it has been determined that only the aforementioned Bright Tangier High Back Swivel chairs can be provided through commercial furniture resellers. After reviewing the agency goals for small business concerns, the data supports a total small business set-aside.
