This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal furniture procurement by the 766 Enterprise Sourcing Squadron.

The contracting activity is procuring furniture replacement and modernization services for the 15 OSS (Operational Support Squadron) under a project identified as "15 OSS Furniture." The procurement involves removing, transferring, and installing existing furniture systems and replacing them with modern furniture pieces in three buildings: Building 2050, Building 2140 Room 169, and Building 2040 Room 183. The required furnishings include desks, pedestals, cabinets, tables, screens, panels, and modular components. Specific quantities and power requirements are detailed: 31 height-adjustable desks (21 with 450W/3.75 amp power consumption and 9 with 600W/5 amp consumption), along with associated accessories. The Purchase Request/Identification Number is listed as TBD, and the estimated contract cost is redacted from the document.

The justification supports a single source, brand-name procurement of Steelcase furniture, citing incompatibility of existing Steelcase systems with different manufacturers' products and the need for seamless configuration with existing modular furniture. To maintain competition, the document notes that multiple authorized Steelcase distributors have been identified as potential sources. The contracting officer's determination, signed by SSgt Dominick Dockery, affirms that under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), only a single source is reasonably available for this acquisition. Future similar requirements will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with market research conducted on alternative manufacturer viability.
