Incumbent Analysis(see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract for workstation furniture under 70RDAD22A00000001-70FBR625F00000062, awarded to Price Modern for $99,970 (09/02/25–12/02/25). The prior work is described as “REGION 6 WORKSTATION FURNITURE,” and the current requirement similarly involves procuring and installing new office/watch center furniture (chairs and a conference table) at FEMA Region 6’s Federal Regional Center in Denton, Texas, with delivery, assembly, installation, and removal of existing furniture.
— Amendment Summary:
Material clarifications have been removed from the opportunity data, including requirements affecting bidders: FEMA facility access and possible badging/background processing; U.S. citizenship or waiver requirements; Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. work hours; prior coordination for loading-dock and elevator use; contractor responsibility for delivery, installation, protection, and debris removal; and visibility restrictions on console back panels.
