About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) on 17 July 2026 regarding a panel system furniture solicitation.
The document clarifies specifications for workstation panel systems and accessories. Key requirements established through the Q&A include: no specific manufacturer is designated, panels must exceed 2 inches in thickness, half-height panels with open space beneath the worksurface are mandatory to allow access to wall outlets, and full-height panels extending to the floor are unacceptable. Wall-mounted bracket alternatives for standalone workstations are not permitted. The "spin-out pencil drawer" requirement refers to an accessory drawer storing small items underneath the worksurface for easy access. Beltline power refers to electrical and data outlets positioned directly above the worksurface with internal routing through the panel's spine from a base feed or ceiling power pole, rather than as a continuous surface-mounted power strip. Equivalent manufacturers to the specified Fellowes products are acceptable. High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) work surfaces are mandatory; compliant solid wood alternatives are not acceptable. Contractor-provided 2D floor plans and 3D renderings of each typical configuration are required per the Statement of Work, with no extension allowed beyond standard submission timelines for manufacturer-generated drawings.

Question: Has a specific manufacturer been designated for the panel system? If so, please identify the approved manufacturer.

Answer: No, 2” panel system is not acceptable.
Question: We do not offer half-height panels that are open beneath the worksurface; all of our panels extend to the floor. Would this configuration be acceptable?
Answer: A full height panel is not acceptable and would not allow access to the wall outlets.
Question: For the single standalone workstation, the available alternative would be to leave the front open and use wall-mounted brackets to support the open metal shelf. Would this be acceptable?
Answer: No. Wall mounting is not allowed in this space.
Question: Could you please clarify the requirement for a "spin-out pencil drawer"?

Question: Regarding the beltline above the worksurface with 3 duplex receptacles, 6 power outlets, and 1 data/voice knockout, please clarify whether the requirement is:
Answer: A continuous power strip mounted above the worksurface, or No
Answer: A surface-mounted power module integrated into the worksurface. No
Answer: In panel system furniture, beltline power refers to electrical and data outlets that are positioned directly above the worksurface rather than at the base of the panel. Internal Routing: Power is still brought into the workstation from the building via a base feed (at the floor) or a ceiling power pole, but it is routed internally up through the panel's spine to the beltline level.
Question: The specifications reference Fellowes products. Would equivalent products from another manufacturer be considered acceptable?
Answer: Yes, and equivalent manufacturer is acceptable
Question: Please note that manufacturer-generated drawings require approximately 7–10 business days to produce. If manufacturer drawings are required with the quotation, would the Government consider allowing additional time for submission?
Answer: Per the SOW “The Contractor shall provide their 2D Floor Plan and 3D Renderings of each typical”.
Question: Confirm whether you would be willing to consider a compliant solid wood alternative, or if the specified High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) work surfaces are a mandatory requirement for this project?
Answer: Compliant solid wood is not acceptable.
