JUSTIFICATION The 12th Contracting Squadron at Randolph AFB intends to award a contract on a Sole Source basis for modular furniture to include design and installation. Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center (HQ AFPC) has a requirement for reconfiguration of an existing Haworth modular furniture workstations and to include associated component parts/accessories to match existing and therefore the new workstations must be compatible with existing areas for interchangeability. No other modular furniture will interface with Haworth Furniture. Haworth has provided modular furniture and accessories since 1989, which equates to over 2000 Haworth workstations. HQ AFPC averages approximately 10-15 reconfiguration projects per year. Haworth is the only known manufacturer of modular furniture that offers the versatility, flexibility, and adaptability that meets HQ AFPC fluid mission needs. Haworth is the only modular furniture that offers both quick horizontal and vertical change through incremental panels, therefore reducing future reconfigurations costs significantly. Additionally, with the number of Haworth workstations already installed in the building, new workstations must be compatible with existing areas for interchangeability. The approximate total replacement value cost is $10,000,000.00; the government would not be able to recoup these costs in a competitive environment. Therefore, it would not be in the Government?s best interest to procure from another manufacturer. This could result in an adverse effect by negating any existing warranties on the current system. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (20-SEP-2007); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
