Packaged Furniture Program - Industry Guidance and Resources

The Packaged Furniture Program utilizes Contractor Teaming Arrangements (CTAs) that have already been established at the Schedule Level. The schedule level CTAs may be supplemented at the order level as needed. In this arrangement, the Packaged Furniture Program contractor serves as the primary point of contact for buyers with the ability to provide a total furniture solution from multiple furniture manufacturers depending on the agency’s requirements. This provides the buyer with the added benefit of meeting more complex furniture & furnishings requirements with a single contract under a turn-key solution.
Packaged Furniture subcategories include:
