Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the F20676 Workstation Expansion project. It outlines the rationale for soliciting from a single source.

• General Contract Information: Identifies the project as a workstation expansion, contracting activity, and program name.
• Supplies/Services Required: Details the need to furnish workstations in Building 20676 (Area B) at Wright Patterson AFB, including labor, delivery, and assembly.
• Justification for Single Source: Explains that current workstations are Haworth (Compose) brand, and new workstations must be compatible for consistency and reconfiguration. Haworth requires proprietary connectors and warranty claims from the same manufacturer. Haworth dealers are authorized by region, and Elements IV is identified as the only authorized Tier II distributor in the Wright-Patterson AFB area.
• Efforts to Obtain Competition: States that market research identified Haworth as the only manufacturer meeting requirements and Elements IV as the sole local distributor under the DAF OWF program.
• Steps to Preclude Future Single Source: Indicates that future market surveys will be conducted to identify potential sources.
• Contracting Officer's Determination: Concludes that circumstances deem only a single source reasonably available, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).

This document explains why the opportunity is being solicited from a single source (Haworth products via Elements IV) and provides context for the procurement of workstations at Wright Patterson AFB. Bidders not associated with Haworth or Elements IV may find this opportunity not relevant due to the single-source justification.
