Sources Sought - HNC Furniture Program

The Army Corps of Engineers Huntsville Center (USACE) Furniture Section is conducting market research through this Sources Sought notice to identify potential contractors for the HNC Furniture Program. The procurement covers two primary furniture categories: administrative furniture including paneled workstations, desks, tables, seating, and filing systems, as well as industrial furniture such as workbenches and shelving; and barracks/housing furniture including metal, oak, and mixed-media unaccompanied housing furniture with bunkable beds, casegoods, desks, and seating. Respondents must complete and submit the provided Excel spreadsheet containing company information, business classification status, and capability details no later than April 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM Central Time. Key requirements include compliance with DFARS 225.101 and Trade Agreements Act provisions, with respondents required to specify country of manufacture, maximum capacity per delivery order, and aggregate contract capacity. The notice does not establish formal evaluation criteria, as this is market research to assess contractor availability rather than a formal solicitation; however, the spreadsheet requests information on business qualifications, service capabilities (including shipping, installation, and furniture removal), warranty offerings, and customization options such as COM fabrics and stain matching.

This is a pre-solicitation notice with no set-aside designation for small businesses, veteran-owned, HUBZone, or women-owned enterprises. No incumbent contractors or current award values are identified, as this notice represents market research only and does not indicate any known immediate requirements. The spreadsheet does not specify quantities, delivery timelines, or budget ranges, emphasizing that the information gathered is solely for future procurement planning purposes. Interested vendors should direct inquiries to Contract Specialist Teddy Hayes at teddy.hayes@usace.army.mil or 256-895-1095. The market research phase is designed to inform USACE's future furniture acquisition strategy across both administrative and barracks housing categories.
