RFI FOR OFFICE FURNITURE GROUP METALS

Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) is issuing RFI OFG‑RFI0017‑26 to gather input from qualified steel and aluminum suppliers for a future five‑year contract (one base year with four optional years) supporting its Office Furniture Group. The agency seeks to broaden market awareness and participation, ensure high‑quality products, guarantee uninterrupted supply of coil, sheet, angle, and expanded metal (and related aluminum) for items such as pallet racking, lockers, storage cabinets, bookcases, bed frames, and desks, and to incorporate domestic small‑business vendors. Respondents must address six specific questions: (1) interest and company background; (2) quality standards/certifications and supplier relationship for rapid issue resolution; (3) methods to prevent supply disruptions; (4) preferred pricing structures that balance price‑risk (including economic price adjustments and volume‑discount thresholds); (5) frequency of economic price adjustments; and (6) volume levels at which discounted pricing can be offered. The RFI also requests input on contract structuring, penalty mechanisms (financial and CPARS‑based non‑financial), and minimum lead‑times under current market conditions. All responses are at the offeror’s expense and will inform the eventual RFP, which will be posted on SAM.gov.
