Request for Information for Modular Furniture Lighting Fixtures

The State of California's Department of General Services, Procurement Division (DGS/PD) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the 2016 State of California Modular Systems Furniture statewide contract. The RFI seeks information from interested suppliers on available lighting products, specifically LED and fluorescent task lights, that can be used with tile and frame modular system furniture products sold within California. The state is interested in understanding the energy efficiency capabilities of the available lighting options, as required under California's appliance efficiency standards (Title 20). Vendors are requested to provide technical information sheets on their lighting products and indicate if the offered LED lights are certified to the California Energy Commission's Appliance Efficiency Regulations. The RFI also asks vendors to confirm if their task lights meet the minimum technical requirements of the Title 20 regulations, even if they are not currently certified. Responses to the RFI are due by February 4, 2016.

This RFI is open to all interested suppliers, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFI does not provide any information on award values or budget ranges. The purpose of this RFI is to gather information from the market, and participating in this RFI is not a requirement to participate in the solicitation process for the 2016 State of California Modular Systems Furniture statewide contract.
