1.0 Background
Historically, the Air Force has used a tactical approach to purchasing office seating. This approach
resulted in multiple, decentralized processes and sourcing strategies that increased the overall cost of
office seating, and did not leverage overall agency buying power. On 22 March 2009, Deputy Assistant
Secretary (Contracting) chartered the Air Force Furnishings Commodity Council (AF FCC) to establish
an enterprise-wide furnishings acquisition strategy that satisfies AF office seating needs by minimizing
duplication of effort, standardizing procurement policy, and leveraging purchasing power, resulting in a
cost-effective procurement strategy that focuses on total life-cycle costs. The AF FCC, in partnership
with a cross-functional team comprised of AF Interior Design Personnel, AMC Strategic Sourcing and
Contracting Specialists, as well as Furniture Acquisition Specialists from the General Services
Administration (GSA), standardized AF office seating requirements and competitively awarded 8 AFWide Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for the CONUS based AF enterprise (including Alaska and
Hawaii).

3.0 AF-Wide Office Seating Decentralized Ordering Process Steps
NOTE: Prior to replacing existing Office Seating, the customer is required to review any/all existing
warranties associated with proposed replacement items. This will assist in verifying if warranties will
fund/repair/partially fund any existing chairs prior to the commitment of funds. If current warranties
exist, the owner/user is required to contact the office seating provider for repair/replacement of items
covered by existing warranties in accordance with established protocols. If chairs are not under an
existing warranty, continue with the next steps in the ordering process.
The AF Office Seating Decentralized Ordering Process encompasses all activities required to successfully
order office seating, and complies with mandatory requirements of FAR 8.405 (c) (2), Ordering from
Multiple-Award BPAs, and the fair opportunity requirements of DFARS 208.405-70(c)(2). Table 1
provides an overview of the ordering process and identifies responsibilities. Process steps are illustrated in
greater detail after the overview.
BPAs are available on Electronic Document Access (EDA) by clicking “View (1)” under the paperclip.

4.0 Decentralized Ordering Process (Guidance for Local Contracting Office)
The BPAs were awarded against GSA Federal Supply Schedule contracts; therefore, the process for
placing orders must be consistent with the procedures outlined in FAR Part 8.4 and DFARS 208.
Synopsis is not required IAW FAR 5.202(a)(11).
After quotes are received, evaluate to ensure they are IAW BPA technical requirements and minimum
BPA discount. Issue a BPA Call to the vendor who submitted the lowest priced, technically
acceptable quote.
4.1 Procurement Desktop 2 (PD2) Instructions
Screen shots are provided in Attachment 5 to assist in releasing Decentralized BPA Calls.
4.2 Fair Opportunity
All BPA requests for quotes must be posted on the GSA “eBuy” to provide fair notice to all
contractors as required by DFARS 208.405-70(c)(2).
4.3 Match Existing Furniture with AF-Wide BPA Holder
A BPA waiver submitted to “match existing” furniture may be authorized IAW FAR 8.405-6,
however, a waiver will not be approved if replacing a whole office or conference room. Match
existing furniture waiver requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
IAW DFARS 308.405-6 BPA Calls estimated over $25,000 shall be posted on eBuy with the required
brand name justification and approval (J&A).
4.4 FAR Compliance
FAR Part 8 takes precedence since the BPAs are issued against the GSA FSS. FAR Part 13
(Simplified Acquisition Procedures) except 13.303-(c) (3); Part 14 (Sealed Bidding); Part 15
(Contracting by Negotiation); and Part 19 (Small Business Programs) do not apply.
COs are required to maximize competition in situations where only one offer is received for
acquisitions above the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) in accordance with the most recent
27 Apr 11 DPAP Improving Competition in Defense Procurements memo.
The DFARS 237 requirements for document use of non-DoD contracting vehicles do not apply to the
AF Office Seating BPAs. The AF Furnishings Commodity Council prepared the DFARS 237
determination for placement of the BPAs using non-DoD Contracts (Federal Supply Schedules). The
resulting BPAs are AF contracting vehicles and do not require additional justification.
ͳʹ
4.5 Contract Performance Assessment Report (CPAR)
The AF FCC is the assessing official and will prepare an annual CPAR. The decentralized ordering
office shall monitor performance of the order IAW FAR and local policy. Annual performance should
be communicated to the AF FCC via email, furnishings.cc@wpafb.af.mil. The AF FCC is responsible
for overall assessment of the viability of the sourcing strategy as well as documenting the past
performance of the associated BPA vendors.
4.6 Administration of Orders (Order Closeout)
Closeout and maintenance of orders shall remain the responsibility of the decentralized ordering
office, unless otherwise noted. Notification that closeout of an order is complete must be provided to
the AF FCC, furnishings.cc@wpafb.af.mil, once accomplished. The BPA vendor shall work in
partnership with the government to ensure closeout is timely.
