DOS Residential Furniture 2026

The Department is looking at vendors who can source commercial residential furniture off the shelf that can meet the government’s requirements for scope, feasibility, and manufacturing under Product Service Code 7105 Household Furniture. Product Service Code (PSC) 7105 encompasses household furniture procurement for federal government agencies. This category includes a wide range of furniture items such as beds, chairs, tables, wardrobes, desks, mattresses, and other residential and institutional furnishings. The designated NIACS code for this effort is 337121. Furniture dealers are also encouraged to submit responses.

OBO is looking for respondents who provide high-quality or commercial & contract grade residential furniture.  High-quality products are well-crafted and durable, built from high-performing materials and easy to maintain. Commercial-grade products are expected to be BIFMA compliant, tested for use in commercial settings and have the ability to withstand high use over a long period of time. The intent is for the US Department of State to find an awardee that can provide furniture that meets ALL of the descriptions below

Vendors will need to be able to provide all requested products for both House A and House B as well as accessory items outlined in Attachment A Product Specification Chart. Vendors will need to be able to provide styles of furniture to include Transitional, Contemporary, and Modern for House A and Minimalist style for House B.

Transitional: Furniture that balance characteristics between traditional and contemporary design.  Pieces can be inspired by traditional styles such as Baroque, Romantic, and Neoclassical and 19th century modernism. Furniture groupings shall be medium in scale and paired with straight lines, rounded curves, soft edges, and some decorative flourishes to create a layered look. Palettes shall consist of solids and textures with accents of color or pattern. Materials may include wood, polished stone, glass, fabrics, and metals.

Contemporary:  Furniture with a simple and modern aesthetic. Pieces can incorporate a blend of styles and eras including but not limited to art deco, post modernism, and modernism.  Furniture groupings shall be medium in scale and pair straight lines with the occasional curve. Palettes shall consist of solids and textures with accents of color or pattern. Materials may include wood, polished stone, glass, fabrics, and metals.

Modern:  Furniture designed for function with simple lines, low profiles, and smooth surfaces.  Pieces can be designed during or inspired by the mid-20th century design, most notably Bauhaus and Arts and Crafts. Furniture groupings shall be medium in scale and purposeful. Palettes shall consist of solids and textures with accents of color and pattern. Materials may include wood, plastics, polished stone, glass, fabrics, and polished metals.

Minimalist: Furniture that balance characteristics between contemporary and modern design, refer to definitions above. Furniture groupings shall be small in scale appropriate for small apartments and compact living spaces and have uncomplicated forms, clean lines, and simple finishes. Palettes shall consist of solids and textures with accents of color or subtle and simple patterns. Materials may include wood, polished stone, glass, fabrics, and metals.

A quantity of three-color schemes are to be available across all furniture styles:

1. Warm
