Description:
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/PZIBA), on behalf of Department of the Air Force at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), intends to award a Brand Name Only, firm-fixed-price contract for Haworth Furniture.
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products prepared in accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through the RFO (effective April 17, 2026) and the Revolutionary Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (RDFARS) as of the date of issuance.
The Department of the Air Force intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract for Haworth Furniture in accordance with the attached Statement of Work (SOW), on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. The Schedule of Supplies, place of performance, delivery information, and the full list of applicable provisions and clauses are set forth in the attached SF 1449 and solicitation. Award is subject to the availability of funds.
The requirement is for all supplies, labor, and services necessary to complete the furniture requirement of WBAFB. This is a follow-on project that requires new workstations to be physically compatible and fully interchangeable with the existing Haworth furniture. The Government's market research indicates that Haworth products utilize proprietary physical connections, and no other manufacturer produces a compatible system that can meet the Government's essential need for a single, integrated, and reconfigurable workspace.
In accordance with the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul, (RFO) 5.101(c)(4)(vii), the justification for restricting competition is that the proprietary Haworth physical connections and design are essential to the Government's requirement, and no other brand of systems furniture can interface with the existing setup. Therefore, this acquisition is being conducted under the authority of (RFO) 6.103-1.
This is a BRAND NAME ONLY requirement. Only brand name Haworth products will be
accepted. "Or Equal" products will NOT be evaluated.
Standardization of Haworth is required to ensure compatibility with existing systems,
eliminate duplication of training costs and maintain mission continuity. In accordance with RFO
5.201(c)(3), the approved Brand Name Justification and Approval (J&A) is attached to this posting on
SAM.gov.
