BMT Dorm Furniture

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command awarded a sole-source contract (FA301626P0156) to Quality Specialty Products Incorporated for $6.23 million on August 28, 2026, for BMT dormitory furniture and related services.

The 502d Contracting Squadron at JBSA-Lackland, Texas executed the award on behalf of the 737th Training Group. The requirement includes 4,568 wall lockers, 4,568 bed frames, 4,568 H-frame chairs, and 2,284 bunk bed adapters, with freight, delivery, assembly, installation, placement, and removal of old furniture. The vendor is a small business under NAICS 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing). Funding derives from FY26 Operational and Maintenance appropriations as a one-time firm fixed price contract.

The Government justified sole source authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The incumbent contractor's proprietary designs are standardized across the BMT campus; introducing an alternative manufacturer would require 6–9 months for redesign, prototyping, and testing. A Notice of Intent posted July 11, 2026 (closed July 17, 2026) drew one interested vendor whose pricing exceeded the Government estimate and posed nonconformity risks. The Government evaluated Federal Prison Industries and AbilityOne but determined neither met specific dimensional and form-fit-function requirements.
