TDLINE: The ANSI/BIFMA standards are intended to provide manufacturers,
TDLINE: specifiers, and users with a common basis for evaluating safety,
TDLINE: durability, and the structural adequacy of the specified furniture,
TDLINE: independent of construction materials. The Standard for General Purpose

TDLINE: written proposal is submitted or after modification of awarded contract
TDLINE: to include all new items. For non-structural components UNICOR reserves
TDLINE: the right to make sourcing determinations. UNICOR would generally only
TDLINE: make sourcing determinations if an awardee's part is failing, delivered
TDLINE: untimely, or vertically integrated. The warranty shall not be affected
TDLINE: except for claims limited to replacement of those substitution
TDLINE: component(s) separately acquired and / or manufactured by UNICOR in
TDLINE: which case UNICOR will provide for warranty service.
TDLINE: In the event the awardee continually fails to deliver products ordered

TDLINE: structural component(s) a cooperative Engineering Team comprised of
TDLINE: UNICOR's and the offeror's technical representative(s) shall be formed.
TDLINE: The Engineering Team shall be tasked to attempt to provide and document
TDLINE: agreement on the proposed substitution component(s).
TDLINE: UNICOR will provide for warranty service for claims limited to

TDLINE: materials that make up a chair. Offers will be required as part of
TDLINE: written proposal to provide a list of components that can be vertically
TDLINE: integrated.
TDLINE: Future Option for Rights to Jointly Developed Products: If UNICOR and
TDLINE: the successful offeror(s) jointly develop any new seating line, UNICOR
TDLINE: requires the exclusive intellectual property rights to the newly
TDLINE: manufactured seating lines developed. Intellectual property rights are
TDLINE: defined as "copyrights, trademarks, and patents requiring written
TDLINE: intellectual property licensing agreements. A licensing agreement or
TDLINE: license is a contractual right that gives one permission to engage in a
TDLINE: defined activity or to use certain property, including intellectual
TDLINE: property, that is owned by another. These intellectual property law
TDLINE: regulations are essential to enforcing the owner's rights in
TDLINE: intellectual property." For any component parts of the newly designed
TDLINE: chair which UNICOR does not manufacture, the successful offeror must
TDLINE: have the requisite intellectual property rights in any component parts,
TDLINE: prior to engaging in any of these efforts with UNICOR.
TDLINE: UNICOR will require the successful offeror to indemnify and hold UNICOR
TDLINE: harmless from any alleged patent infringement for use of the component
TDLINE: parts. The product proposed for this requirement will be a desirable
TDLINE: line that would be competitive with those items in the commercial
TDLINE: marketplace. All items offered shall not infringe on any patents.
TDLINE: Offerors shall provide packaging and shipping instructions on how
TDLINE: product is presently shipped to customer base. This information shall
TDLINE: include, but is not limited to, packaging, boxing, wrapping, labeling,
TDLINE: box specification, size, inserts, volume and packaging inventory per
TDLINE: chair line or model and shall be provided as part of the written
TDLINE: proposal. Presently, UNICOR will have a separate packaging contract that
TDLINE: may need to be modified to meet the requirements as provided by each
TDLINE: successful offeror. Additional Packaging: UNICOR requests offerors to
TDLINE: provide packaging materials and supplier list and shipping information
TDLINE: so that UNICOR may ship to customers in the same manner as the awarded
TDLINE: offeror ships to their commercial customers. This information shall
TDLINE: include, but is not limited to, packaging, boxing, wrapping and
TDLINE: labeling. This information shall not be included in the pricing of the
TDLINE: chair components.
TDLINE: UNICOR will have a separate packaging contract. UNICOR seeks to enhance
TDLINE: packaging procedures to eliminate shipping damages. Information
TDLINE: requested is as follows: box specification, sizes, inserts, volume and
TDLINE: packaging inventory per chair line or model. An additional factory
TDLINE: location may be added in the future which would be done through a
TDLINE: contract modification signed by both parties.
TDLINE: Offerors will be required to provide UNICOR a Bi-annual report if there
TDLINE: are any changes in the industry to assist UNICOR in improving seating
TDLINE: lines. UNICOR desires to offer the most marketable combination of
TDLINE: products to its Federal customers. Issues that may enhance the UNICOR
TDLINE: seating lines include but are not limited to:
TDLINE: a.,,Maintaining a family appearance between the chairs in a product
TDLINE: line.
