About this file

This is a Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items (Standard Form 1449) issued by the Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) for lounge seating products.

UNICOR seeks lounge seating solutions under an unrestricted, Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for a five-year base term. The solicitation number is FN1625-26, with an offer due date of September 30, 2026, by 2:00 PM EST. The NAICS code is 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing), with a 1,100-employee size standard. Product delivery is required FOB Destination to FCC Allenwood, Pennsylvania, with a standard 21-day lead time (Monday-Friday, excluding federal holidays), with delivery hours from 6:30 AM to 1:00 PM. The contract guarantees a minimum purchase of $500.00 over its duration. Solicitation quantities are estimated as five-year figures. Products must include 1-seat, 2-seat, and 3-seat lounges, single occupant guest chairs, ottomans, and modular designs with power outlet and USB socket options. All products must meet ANSI/BIFMA X5.4-2020 standards for public and lounge seating, be ISO 9001 certified, include Greenguard certification, provide independent testing reports from certified laboratories, include 10-15 year warranties, and comply with component-level sourcing and vertical integration provisions. Offerors must submit comprehensive pricing via Excel bill-of-materials format with volume discounts (1-50, 51-100, 101-150, 151-200, 201-250, 251+), complete business management questionnaires with three to five relevant contract references, SAM registration, UEI and TIN numbers, and detailed technical documentation including CAD drawings, product specifications, training materials, and consignment inventory plans.

Award will be made to the highest-rated offeror based on eleven non-cost evaluation factors ranked in descending order of importance: (1) domestic content superiority, (2) ability to meet specifications, (3) warranty, (4) ANSI/BIFMA compliance, (5) Greenguard certification, (6) ISO 9001 certification, (7) consignment inventory, (8) training of staff and inmates, (9) vertical integration, (10) independent testing by certified laboratory reports, and (11) price. Past performance, inmate employment maximization, and ability to leverage UNICOR's plant capacity are significant evaluation considerations. Offerors should expect sample requests if selected for competitive range evaluation and must travel to Allenwood at their own expense if required. The contract incorporates FAR 52.212-1, 52.212-4, 52.212-3, and 52.212-5 by reference, along with numerous deviations addressing small business subcontracting plans, liquidated damages (10% per week), order limitations ($500 minimum, $750,000 single item/$1.5 million combined maximum), pricing adjustments via PPI escalation (capped at 10% total upward adjustment), and security/compliance requirements including DOJ personnel security standards, classified information access protocols, and cybersecurity provisions aligned with FISMA and NIST standards.

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: 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
