About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for procuring additional office furniture for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The procurement involves furnishing additional Haworth (Compose) workstations, reconfiguring existing furniture, and adding storage in Room 163 of Building 20015. Elements IV has been identified as the sole source provider, as they are the exclusive authorized Haworth dealer for the Wright-Patterson AFB region, and the proprietary nature of the Haworth furniture system requires using the same manufacturer to maintain compatibility, warranty integrity, and future reconfiguration capabilities.
The solicitation (FA8601-OFFICE-FURNITURE) is a special notice for a sole source award under NAICS code 337214 for office furniture, with a proposed award to Elements IV located in Dayton, OH. The government intends to negotiate with only one source under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), citing the unique requirements of maintaining existing furniture system consistency. Interested parties may submit capability statements or exceptions to the sole source determination, with all correspondence to be emailed to specified Air Force contacts using a specific subject line format, and attachments limited to PDF, .doc, or .xls files.
