This is a Justification Review Document for Limited Source Justification supporting a sole-source procurement by the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI) for height-adjustable powered tables under a General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedules blanket purchase agreement.

ACC-RI seeks to procure 351 height-adjustable powered tables from Allsteel Inc., the sole source selected under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), for installation within existing cubicle/workstation spaces at Rock Island Arsenal. The acquisition is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) order against Allsteel Inc.'s GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (47QSMS24D0088), with funds obligated in fiscal year 2026 for Operations and Maintenance. The project encompasses cubicle and workstation upgrades for up to 351 workstations, including removal of unneeded desk components, reconfiguration of existing cubical spaces, and installation of the height-adjustable powered tables. The justification cites Allsteel Inc.'s unique design features and interchangeability issues inherent to cubicle/workstation manufacturers, the critical need to preserve the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty on existing Allsteel systems furniture installed over the past 10+ years, seamless integration with existing laminates and finishes, proximity of Allsteel's manufacturing facility (30 miles from Rock Island Arsenal), rapid access to replacement parts, and the vendor's demonstrated familiarity with existing workstation configurations and office layouts. Market research identified multiple potential sources, but only Allsteel Inc. met all technical specifications, warranty requirements, and logistical needs. The document includes procurement history noting multiple prior purchase orders issued to Allsteel Inc. and Paragon since 2024, with award dates ranging from January 2024 through September 2025.
