71 -- Conference Room Furniture

It is the intent of the General Services Administration to purchase a custom built, boat shaped conference table and 16 leather-bound chairs through other than full and open competition procedures from Kittinger Furniture Company, Inc. The table and chairs will be used in the conference room of a high security level historic building located in Washington, DC.

In addition, the proposed furniture will match existing Kittinger furniture already in place in the conference room. The same style and quality match can only be achieved by going to the same manufacturer that previously furnished this room.
