Classroom Fixed Seating

The Department of the Army National Guard is soliciting bids for a complete classroom fixed seating solution at the 180th Fighter Wing in Swanton, Ohio, encompassing the removal and disposal of existing chairs and the professional installation of 33 new fixed seats. The procurement requires floor-mounted seating with powder-coated steel standards, durable plastic outer shells, upholstered cushions, and integrated folding tablet arms with plastic laminate tops, meeting standard commercial-grade specifications. Contractors must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system for payment processing, comply with all applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses, and possess U.S. citizenship with a current valid REAL ID license for base access. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price award with separate line-item breakouts for labor, materials, and disposal, though the documents provided do not explicitly state evaluation criteria beyond specification compliance. The solicitation was posted on March 12, 2026, with a proposal due date of April 13, 2026; work must be completed by July 1, 2026, with approximately one week allocated between the removal phase and installation phase to accommodate carpet replacement by others.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities as defined by the Small Business Administration. No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in the available documentation. The project involves the removal of 33 existing chairs and the installation of new seating in a 35-foot by 24-foot classroom space, with installation required during normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Contractors may engage subcontractors subject to FAR review requirements, and site visits are available upon request for potential bidders to assess the space. The place of performance is located in Swanton, Ohio 43558, where secure on-site storage will be provided for delivered chairs prior to installation, and the Government will coordinate scheduling with the flooring contractor and prepare the floor surface by patching existing mounting holes prior to final seating installation.
