The Bureau of Reclamation is procuring Kennedy Style workbenches for laboratory use through a combined synopsis/solicitation process. The procurement covers twelve different workbench configurations ranging from 36"D x 48"L to 36"D x 120"L, including both standard rectangular and L-shaped designs with specific requirements for black phenolic resin tops, blue accessories, various steel drawer configurations, and adjustable leg sets starting at 36" height. All benches must be simple to construct using normal hand tools without requiring additional modifications, and offerors must provide 3D renderings, pictures, or equivalent documentation of typical bench configurations along with specific L-shaped bench drawings. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, where technical acceptability and past performance factors are considered more important than price. The original questions period ran from August 14-18, 2025, with quotes due by August 29, 2025 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees. No specific award values, budget ranges, or incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The successful contractor will have 75 days after receipt of order to deliver the workbenches to the Bureau of Reclamation Denver Federal Center, Building 56, Door S-6 in Denver, Colorado. The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments, with the most recent providing final specifications and a complete line-item description table, and offerors are instructed to reference only the final RFQ revision rather than previous amendments.
