Description

1. Introduction The Department of War is seeking to identify qualified vendors capable of reconfiguring existing UNICOR office furniture systems located at the Air National Guard (ANG) facility in Madison, WI. This project involves the disassembly of an existing layout of 16 workstations and their reconfiguration into a new 14-workstation layout, utilizing existing components to the maximum extent. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to conduct market research to determine if this requirement can be competitively sourced and preserve existing warranties, ensure component compatibility, and match finishes of the existing system. This is not a request for quotes, bids, or proposals. 2. Background The existing office furniture was originally purchased from UNICOR (Federal Prison Industries) in 2021, utilizing the "Crescendo" series cubicle systems. The original 16-workstation open-pod design features low panels that currently inhibit the ability to conduct private customer service and create constant acoustic and visual distractions for personnel working in the space. To mitigate this, the Government intends to reconfigure the system to a new layout comprising fourteen (14) total structures: twelve (12) L-shaped workstations and two (2) U-shaped customer service counters featuring taller 66" high privacy panels to isolate noise and protect customer privacy. The new layout also introduces additional return work surfaces, increased storage, and modified electrical routing. 3. Scope of Work The vendor shall provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to perform the following tasks: Disassembly: Tear down the existing 16 UNICOR office cubicle workstations. These are currently in an open layout with 42” separation panels. Cubicles are currently in 4 groups, with the cubicles sharing walls within each group; 1 group of 5, 2 groups of 4, and 1 group of 3. Reconfiguration & Installation: Build the new 14-workstation layout. Cubicles will be in 3 groups with 66” separation panels, with the cubicles sharing walls within each group; 1 group of 4, 1 group of 8, and 1 group of 2. Component Integration: To the maximum extent, integrate existing and reused components with newly sourced components. Provision of New Parts: Provide necessary new components, including but not limited to: New panels to increase height of existing panels to 66" Panel trims, hinges, and corner connectors Return work surfaces for L-shaped and U-shaped desks Additional storage units (overhead bins/pedestals) Internal electrical whips and power poles Finish Matching: Ensure all new components (laminates, fabrics, paint, and trims) are fully compatible with and perfectly match the existing 2021 UNICOR Crescendo finishes. Asset Disposition: Manage the inventory of all components. 4. Site Coordination and Demarcation Vendors must acknowledge and coordinate the following facility constraints: Electrical Demarcation: The vendor is responsible for all furniture-integrated elect…
