Thank you for this opportunity, and welcome to Indoff! Jim Malkus, Indoff CEO 1
GSA Approved Solutions For many years it felt like the GSA procurement process was more and more complicated for the vendor. However, in the last few years, it feels as though it is the GSA procurement and facilities staff that has the harder job. Providing safe and attractive housing, furniture and structure for bases and Government offices and buildings has become a greater challenge; and doing it on a budget can be daunting. For 50 years, Indoff has delivered solutions to our customers that few can. We provide furniture, appliances, lighting, warehouse solutions, storage supplies and more – and have 400 local Indoff Sales Partner all over the country. We focus on the Government sector because we add breadth and a value that few can. Selection & Cost Since 1974, Absocold (an Indoff appliance brand) has been a GSA Advantage contract holder for appliances to the Federal Government. You can find our line of refrigerators and major appliances in our portfolio under Indoff with GSA Contract #47QSHA18D000W. For furniture, storage, lighting and most anything else, we can provide the procurement team the ability to comparison shop, achieve consistent cost and streamline orders. We have numerous CTAs and maintain relationships with hundreds of manufacturers, wholesalers, and service providers so that we can find the right product for any situation. Service We can assist the procurement, facilities and maintenance teams with knowledgeable experts who can go on site (or zoom) to understand the requirement(s) so that they can objectively recommend the best solution.
Who We Are Indoff is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. We have developed solutions for our customers for the past 50 years. Today our divisions are capable of fulfilling almost any need a business may have. Our customers work in every industry imaginable – distribution, healthcare, education, legal, engineering, manufacturing, and more. Indoff’s model was designed as such that our Sales Partners are encouraged to provide the best solutions from the leading manufacturers, not the just flavor of the month. As such, we take a consultative approach to ensure that we combine the financial strength of a $175 million-plus distributor with the talents, expertise, and local service of hundreds of sales professionals. Our Sales Partners are indeed our Partners – they are empowered to manage their relationships and make local decisions regarding pricing and product selection. 2
Seating Options For Productivity Although ergonomics is often joked about and not taken seriously, it’s no laughing matter. Poor ergonomics can lead to heart disease, blood clots, muscle pain, and more. Ergonomics plays a key role when it comes to correctly sizing chairs and desks and choosing furniture that promotes healthy positions and allows movement. Traditional seating often has a backward incline which causes rounding of the back, tension in the shoulder, back, and neck muscles, constriction of the digestive organs, lack of blood circulation, and forces the spinal cord to be pressed to one side. Ergonomic solutions include a rocking mechanism in chairs as well as the ability to swivel in order to change seat inclination. Your staff will work best in a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment, and ergonomics play an important factor in these needs. Combining ergonomics with any professional setting is necessary in order to support a productive work environment. Indoff offers a wide selection of seating options for a multitude of locations including cafeterias, employee desks, lounges, private offices, conference rooms, and much more. 3

Work The Way You Want
When picking a desk, it is important to remember that each user’s needs are unique. Ergonomics plays a big role when it comes to focus and productivity as well as improving health and safety. According to the most recent ANSI/BIFMA anthropometric studies, the average female in the U.S. workforce is 5’ 4” and requires a work surface height of 24.5” when seated and 41.3” when standing. The average male is 5’ 10” and requires a work surface height of 26.5” when seated and 44.8” when standing. These people are considered the 50th percentile of the workforce. The ability to meet the diverse needs of the average worker, and the extremes of the shortest and tallest workers (known as the 5th to 95th percentile), can only be achieved with adjustable height desks that adjust from 22.5” to 48.5”.

Selecting a desk system can be difficult when you must consider the cost, size, quality, and lead times. Indoff Partners work with a wide selection of manufacturers to ensure that they can always meet any project specifications that you may have. Our Partners not only understand the requirements of the GSA but also check to make sure solutions are ANSI, ASTM International, and BIFMA approved if necessary. Dividers are more important than ever. Not only do they increase privacy and security but they also act as physical barrier that can help stop germs and viruses from traveling very far. Screens come in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and colors so that you always have the best option available. We offer stand alone solutions that can be moved around the room as needed or more permanent solutions that can be attached to your existing tables and chairs. Whether you’re looking for permanent solutions, temporary fixes, or more design oriented solutions, we carry a product that can fit your need!

Air Quality & Purification Solutions
When it comes to sanitation you can never be too careful. COVID-19 will not be the last virus we face. As populations continue to grow, cities become denser, and we continue to invade wildlife biomes, scientists agree that it’s only a matter of time before another pandemic pops up. With Indoff’s wide selection of protective equipment, you can prepare and minimize the future impact on your business and the health of your constituents. Whether you’re looking for a bigger solution such as a HEPA medical-grade air filter or a portable UV-C light that can destroy bacteria, Indoff has a solution for your need(s). We also carry your standard PPE solutions such as face masks, hand sanitizer, thermometers, and much more. Prepare for the future and be sure your organization has the supplies and equipment available to keep staff and visitors safe and healthy. The CDC now recommends improving your building’s ventilation as the main line of defense in the battle against COVID-19 instead of regular cleanings with wipes, although still recommended.

Material Handling Solutions The world of material handling is vast and covers a wide range of industries and solutions. Indoff has the ability to tap into a vast network of manufacturers to ensure that whatever the need for your warehouse or facility, we can assist with finding the solution within your budget.
Mezzanines Real estate is extremely expensive and it is important to take advantage of every cubic foot. Although typically found in warehouses, mezzanines can also be built in buildings with high ceilings to maximize your space. Knowing the best means to maximize space can only be achieved by years of experience. Our average Material Handling Partner has over 30 years of experience.
Modular Offices & Guard Shacks Although your facility may be a great location, tweaks to a property are sometimes required. We provide both custom and turnkey solutions. A few examples include: • • • •

Modular / In-Plant Office Additional Security Detail Dock Equipment Mobile Aisles
Indoff can come on-site and help with most any effort: design recommendations, plant surveys, product storage and workflow, as well as product advice and selection.
Wire Cages & Partitions Looking to protect weaponry, chemicals, files, or personnel? A wire cage or partition may be the best option. These solutions are typically made of tough metals that make them nearly impossible to cut or break. Additionally, if there are deliveries to your facility, these make for a great option to secure your entry way but still allow people to enter.
Workbenches & Drawer Cabinets Efficiency comes down to having the materials your employees need, when they need them. A well organized workbench with a variety of storage options can have an impact on employee production and improve employee endurance and health. Tossing everything into the same drawer or cluttering a workspace becomes very easy to do when not equipped with the proper storage. Our Partners will look at the task being done and be able to provide you with an optimal system that will provide a more productive work environment.
Racking & Bulk Storage An effective and efficient bulk storage / racking system requires a Material Handling expert to walk your facility and understand the storage and flow needs. Additionally, accidents happen and keeping your systems maintained can save your facility from a catastrophic failure, injury, or worse. Indoff Partners are capable of auditing your current storage to ensure any dents or bends are properly repaired.

Durable & Secure Storage Weaponry, uniforms, specialty equipment, and document storage often require specific storage devices. Indoff works with dozens of storage solution manufacturers that can optimize your space, and make sure all your requirements are achieved. If your facility is located in an area that is prone to natural disasters such as fires and floods, you’ll want to make sure that your documents are stored in a cabinet that can protect them from these hazards. We also understand that space is often a limiting factor. We offer solutions that are mobile yet stable so when they aren’t in use you’re able to close the walkway between the units and save square footage. If space and hazard protection are not an issue, we have hundreds of options in a wide variety of colors and materials for storing clothing and equipment. These solutions are often more affordable and their durability allows you to spend time and money on other matters instead of repairs and replacements. These options often come with built in locks or keypads for additional security. Your local Indoff Partner can assist with educating you on the current storage offerings.

An Indoff Case Study Air Force Storage Solutions Before the construction of their new building began, an Air Force installation evaluated the current storage situation of essential flight protection gear housed in the Life Support Section. The wooden lockers, which held flight suits and helmets, survival vests and personal items, were in a state of disrepair. The facility needed a more secure storage solution with optimum organization and durability. The base contacted Indoff to design, create and provide a custom locker solution to store this flight gear. One of Indoff’s Material Handling Partners worked with the client to create a storage locker to accommodate their specialty items as well as the space alloted. 280 lockers measuring 16” W x 15” D x 72” H fill the Life Support Section, maximizing the available storage footprint. Two-tone paint that coordinates with the colors of the Air Force base, not only creates an aesthetically pleasing look, but allows additional light in the interior of the locker. Each locker is equipped with a key-lock box to secure and store personal items, a top shelf and two utility pegs for hanging storage. The doors are fitted with hasp closures that allow an individual combination lock to secure the locker. Diamond patterns are punched into the doors and sides to provide adequate ventilation for the contents inside.

LED Lighting Solutions Switching to LED lighting is one of the easiest ways to save money today. Not only do LED lights use 75% less energy than your incandescent bulb, but it can save in maintenance costs and free up time for your staff to tackle other more important projects. Researchers have found that exposure to short wavelength or blue light during the day directly improves alertness and performance. Blue-enriched white light stimulates the brain,improves alertness, performance, and sleep quality. The intensity and color temperature of artificial lighting affects physiological processes in the human body, including: blood pressure, heart rate variability, and core temperature. Fluorescent lighting on the other hand causes some additional unexpected side effects on top of their increased cost. While it has been proven that fluorescent lighting does not cause migraines, it can make people who do suffer from migraines feel worse at times. People with migraines are very sensitive to light, and bright lights such as fluorescent lighting can turn a mild headache into a fullblown migraine. Installing LED lighting in your facilities can have a massive impact to the health, safety and performance of your employees. Outdoor lighting solutions can also increase the security of school property while reducing crime such as physical violence and car break-ins. The money you can save in energy costs can have a big impact over the course of the 25 year lifespan of most LED bulbs. Lighting also affects multiple areas of our lives; it shapes how we sleep, our mood and our motivation and concentration. Whether you’re looking to save money, increase productivity, free up maintenance time, or all the above, LED lighting is a smart choice.

An Indoff Case Study The University of Houston While dimly lit parking garages may be great for scary movies, in real life a well-lit garage is essential for the safety and security of residents and drivers. When Brittani Hunter, General Manager of Cullen Oaks Apartments, noticed that some of the residential parking garages and lots in and around campus at the University of Houston were not meeting expectations, she reached out to her ACC Regional Manager, Chris Coleman, to see what could be done to resolve the issue. Fortunately for Brittani, Chris had just returned from a Facilities Conference where he participated in a LED lighting session led by Indoff, Inc.’s, John Vasquez. John was able to turn to Bob Edgley, the local Indoff Energy Solutions Representative, who walked Brittani and Chris through the process of performing, at no cost, a professional audit of the property’s lighting to determine the value of upgrading. Once the audit was completed, Indoff was able to source the most appropriate vendor and products to meet the requirements to do the job right. Cullen Oaks Apartments replaced the parking lot and garage lighting with LED wall packs, canopy, and high bay lighting. Based on kilo watt savings, the new lighting package is estimated to pay for itself in as little as 31 months. And based on a 4% utility increase per year, the entire project has an estimated cost savings of $597,000 over a 25-year time frame. Not only will the lighting package save hundreds of thousands of dollars over its lifetime, but it also met the requirements for an energy incentive rebate from CenterPoint Energy for $13,718. Indoff took care of all the paperwork and submissions to make sure that ACC received every cent they were entitled.
‘Over the 25-year life span of the project, the return on investment is estimated to total $597,000.’

Go Green With Solar Lighting Solar energy appears to be the energy source of the future as the sun is an immense source of power that won’t be going anywhere for another 7 to 8 billion years. That’s some serious sustainability. Every year solar panels not only become more efficient, but smaller and more consumer friendly. Although the price of entry is still cheap with some applications such as residential applications, that’s not the case for all solutions.
Save Money
Eliminate the cost of trenching, wiring, switch-gear, and soil remediation. Also cut electricity costs year after year because the sun doesn’t send you a bill and it also never experiences an outage.
Stop Vandalism
Copper theft has been called an epidemic that is sweeping the US. Due to the way our lights are constructed, wire theft is nearly impossible. Indoff’s solar lighting options are also designed to repel break-ins and damage.
Eliminate Emissions
Many nations have already voted CO2 taxes into law and since we operate in a global economy the US may not be far behind. Many scientists and economists agree that these laws are necessary to curb corporate trends and begin developing a greener future. Not only will you be protecting the environment, but you’ll also be protecting your wallet from possible future taxes.
Save Time
We often think that the installation of such high-tech solutions will take a long time to install but the fact of the matter is that we can get your new lights setup within hours. From that point on it’s just about saving you money.
No Maintenance for a Decade
Due to advances in battery technology, as well as smarter design implementation, our solar lighting systems can run up to 10+ years without the need of scheduled maintenance. That means you’ll save additional money since you won’t be needing constant replacement parts. 15
An Indoff Case Study The Park at New Melle Lakes St. Charles County in Missouri installed solar parking lot lighting at The Park at New Melle Lakes. The park is home to The Landhaus rental facility. The parks department recently opened it for weddings and special events. The facility overlooks the nearby lake. With space for 160 people, a deck, and beautiful views of the lake, it had almost everything. But it did not have access to electricity for lighting in the parking lot. Since autumn is one of the most scenic times in the area, events could easily slip into after dark hours. It was important that we could provide not only a beautiful scene, but a safe one as well.
Installing Solar Parking Lot Lighting
St. Charles parks opted for solar parking lot lighting. Every light has its own power center, so there is no trenching or wiring expense. On top of that, the park’s own facilities team was able to install the lighting. Installing the lighting is as easy as planting a tree and you don’t have to water them.
Reliability
The Smart Lights are customized for the project location. That means that the system will provide reliable lighting 365 nights a year. And, with an operating temperature of -40F to +157F, it will perform regardless of the weather.
Maintenance
The maintenance schedule is attractive too. Using the latest NiMH technology, the batteries won’t need replacement for 10 or more years. Overall, it’s a fast and cost-effective way to bring lighting to areas that don’t have infrastructure in place already.
A Solution for Cost-Savings and Park Revenue
In the past, Parks found that roots, rocks, mature landscaping, and long wire-runs made lighting impossible in many areas. Solar lighting provides a cost-effective alternative. Lighting makes parks and trails available for more hours and to more people. Lighting grows the revenue potential for rental venues by extending hours and/or seasonal access. Additionally, with the money the County will save on electric bills and maintenance costs, they’ll be able to take on new initiatives.

Automated Temperature Scanners Backed by Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg as well as investing support from Jeff Bezos Getting everyone back to work safely is going to require new protocols and It can be expensive as well as time consuming to dedicate an employee to protecting your facility from COVID-19 and other illnesses. Automating the process not only saves time and money but helps keep your facility running efficiently and safely.
CDC Health Screening Questionnaire
Because many COVID-19 cases are non-symptomatic, the CDC mandates screening as a vital first step in defending against the virus.
Temperature Screening
Although COVID-19 has many possible symptoms, (including cough, shortness of breath, nausea, and muscle pain), researchers at the University of Southern California just confirmed a critical finding: Fever is most often the first symptom to appear.
Face Mask Detection
A study from Health Affairs shows that the 15 states that adopted mask mandates early likely prevented up to 450,000 cases of COVID-19.
Contact Tracing
Contact tracing prevents one case of COVID-19 from turning into 100. It is done by discovering all of the people that may have come into contact with an infected person, contacting them, and helping them decide the next step that is right for their individual circumstances Data Access Management Platform seamlessly integrates with Turing’s wide array of products and serves as the central management hub to monitor and stay informed • • • • • 17
