About the company
The Design TEX Group Inc., doing business as Designtex, is a subsidiary of Steelcase Inc. that supplies office furniture, floor coverings, and interior design goods and services to the federal government as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders. Designtex is a for-profit corporation headquartered in Portland, Maine, registered in SAM since 2001, and competes without small business set-aside designation.
Designtex's federal capability footprint is narrow and specialized. The vendor supplies office furniture (PSC 64 awards), textile fabrics (PSC 20 awards), and wallboard and thermal insulation materials (PSC 15 awards), with 85 awards concentrated in NAICS 332211 (Office Furniture Manufacturing). Recent representative work includes a $14,264 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations awarded March 30, 2026 for furniture provision and installation in New York with June 2026 completion; a $23,065 purchase order from the same bureau awarded January 2, 2025 for furniture; and a $37,920 purchase order awarded March 8, 2023 for similar work.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations dominates the award footprint at 47 awards totaling $417 thousand in combined potential value, representing 44% of all awards and 56% of combined potential value across the portfolio. The Department of State accounts for all material activity; the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service, the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support appear in the portfolio at token levels (four, three, and one awards respectively). Designtex has maintained a sustained Department of State contracting relationship since 2020.
All 131 awards are structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders placed against GSA Federal Supply Schedules. The top vehicles are GS28F0045P (33 task orders, $126 thousand combined potential value), GS07F8885D (13 task orders, $56 thousand combined potential value), and GS07F7570C (three task orders, $17 thousand combined potential value). Award volume has declined sharply—six awards in 2022 declining to one award in 2026 year-to-date—and combined potential value across all 131 awards stands at $855 thousand with $741 thousand obligated. Designtex operates as a pure prime contractor with zero subcontract awards and zero sub-awards in the source data. As a subsidiary of Steelcase, a publicly traded manufacturer of office furniture and workspace solutions, Designtex leverages the parent's manufacturing and supply-chain capacity to fill federal agency furniture requisitions.
