Summary

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract procurement conducted by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) and the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (ENRX). The procurement is for the F2028 Workstations Project 2025SH171 and involves the purchase of additional workstations and executive office furniture to support staff increases at AFLCMC/ENRX at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The justification establishes that Haworth (Compose) is the sole source capable of meeting the requirements due to compatibility needs with existing workstations, proprietary connectors, and warranty claims specific to the Haworth manufacturer. Market research confirmed that Haworth is the only manufacturer meeting the technical requirements, and Elements IV is identified as the only Tier II authorized distributor of Haworth (Compose) products under the Department of the Air Force Office Workplace Furniture Program in the Wright-Patterson AFB area. The contracting officer determined on July 21, 2026, that single source procurement is reasonably justified in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Future procurements will employ competitive market surveys when new furniture is not required to connect to or remain in proximity to existing furniture installations.
