E-MAIL: Aisha Ross, aisha.ross@dover.af.mil. DORMITORY FURNITURE MARKET RESEARCH We are currently in the process of performing market research to examine the possibility of long term contracts for procuring on going dorm furniture needs and to select the style we will require for the furnishings. The furnishings and accessories must be of good/high quality and make efficient and practicable use of limited space. Since the dorm residents will use this furniture on a daily basis, our goal is to find furniture that has style, comfort, and durability (grade 3 or 4). We would like information on furniture styles that meet these criteria and that do not present an "institutional' atmosphere. The furnishings should present a "homey" atmosphere. In lieu of individual solicitations throughout the year we are looking into the feasibility of a long term contract for a specific style of furniture. For a long term contract to work the style of furniture selected will need to be in production for at least 4 years after initial purchase and be able to mixed or matched. However, we do not believe it will be cost effective to artificially support a production line. Please submit to us any data on average production line life spans and any other data relating to commercial furniture manufacturing processes you feel will help us in determining the pros/cons of long term contracts for specific furniture items. All product literature or other information must be sent NLT than January 10,2000. Send product literature via email (aisha.ross@dover.af.mil) or by mail to: SSgt.
