The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for outdoor benches to be deployed across multiple locations, including CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, Far East, and Puerto Rico. The agency seeks vendors capable of supplying benches that meet specific minimal acceptable standards, which include 48-inch and 72-inch models constructed from 100% recycled plastic. These free-standing benches must be 25 inches deep, 30 inches high, have 2-3 leg supports, and feature a brown bench with black legs. This pre-solicitation notice is designed to gather information from potential contractors about their ability to fulfill the requirements, with vendors encouraged to provide point of contact information, installation instructions, and parts lists. The market research period is relatively short, with responses due by March 21, 2025, just nine days after the initial posting on March 12, 2025.

The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, which means only small businesses can compete for this contract. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the requirement includes a mandatory one-year warranty covering parts, service, and labor. Contractors must demonstrate the capability to support parts availability for the equipment's lifecycle plus an additional five years. The benches are intended to provide seating for commissary patrons, suggesting a potential large-scale deployment across multiple military commissary locations. The procurement falls under the Institutional Furniture Manufacturing (NAICS 337127) and Office Furniture (PSC 7110) categories, which will help define the appropriate vendor qualifications. Interested vendors are advised to carefully review the attached specification document and communicate their capabilities to the contract specialist.
