Steelcase chair

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has issued solicitation SPMYM125Q0165 for the procurement of 25 Steelcase Series 2 Office Chairs for delivery to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia. The chairs must be high-performance ergonomic task chairs featuring air LiveBack technology, adjustable lumbar support, optional height adjustment, 4-dimensional arm supports, and a 12-year warranty, with a 400-pound weight capacity and tangerine seat finish with black plastic base. The chairs must be manufactured with 26% recycled materials and meet all federal contracting requirements including supply chain traceability, chemical exposure regulations, and base access requirements. Offerors must comply with small business representation requirements and will be evaluated using the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) for past performance assessment. The solicitation was issued on September 12, 2025, with offers due by 12:00 PM on September 16, 2025, providing a very tight four-day response window.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside, restricting competition to qualifying small business entities under NAICS code 337214 for Office Furniture (except Wood) Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors or current suppliers are identified in the solicitation documentation. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available materials, the procurement involves a relatively modest quantity of 25 office chairs with delivery required within two weeks after contract award. The place of performance is Building 276 at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia 23709, and the procurement carries a DO-C9 priority rating under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) regulation. The compressed timeline from solicitation issuance to offer submission, combined with the two-week post-award delivery requirement, indicates an urgent operational need for this office furniture procurement.
