Installation and/or Moving Services of Office Furnishings

The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services, State Purchasing Bureau, is soliciting proposals for installation and moving services for state agencies, boards, and commissions through RFP 123895 O5 REBID. The procurement seeks vendors capable of providing comprehensive installation services for office furnishings, including cubicle systems, demountable walls, and furniture reconfiguration, as well as moving services for office items, boxes, furnishings, and surplus materials primarily in Lincoln and Omaha. Vendors must have been in business for a minimum of two years, employ at least five full-time workers, and possess specialized training in specific office furniture brands like Knoll, Krueger International, and Neutral Posture. Key evaluation criteria include operational capabilities, vendor experience, and compliance with detailed vendor responsibility requirements outlined in Attachment A. Critical procurement dates include January 19, 2026, for written questions, February 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time for electronic solicitation responses, and a planned contract award and start date of March 2, 2026. The initial contract term is four years with options for two additional two-year renewal periods.

No specific set-aside designations exist for small businesses, though resident disabled veterans or enterprises in designated zones may receive preference if all other factors are equal. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation with $2,000,000 general aggregate limits and Commercial General Liability. Background checks conducted by the Nebraska State Patrol are mandatory for all employees accessing state facilities, with disqualification possible for certain criminal backgrounds. The contract is contingent upon legislative appropriation and allows the state to terminate for convenience with 30 days' notice. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, vendors must submit hourly rates for installation and moving services across the initial four-year term and potential renewal periods, with price increases limited to five percent annually and requiring 120 days' written notice. The state reserves the right to award contracts to one or more vendors and purchase on an item-by-item or total order basis, suggesting flexibility in procurement approach.
