3-3.3 Government Furnished/Contractor Installed (GFCI) FF&E.
The Government may have the contractor install existing furnishings as part of its scope
of work, known as Government Furnished / Contractor Installed (GFCI). This may be
accomplished with either the Design-Build or Design-Bid-Build. An FF&E design may

DESIGN PROCESS.
3-4.1 Planning and Programming.
The interior designer will be involved during the initial programming and DD1391
development and preparation. The designer will be involved in the initial information

sources (normally O&M) and is an integral part of the construction project. Furniture is
listed on the DD Form 1391 as a non-add entry in Block 9 for Equipment Provided from
Other Appropriations. In Block 12b, list the equipment as an O&M funded item, the
fiscal year the funds are requested, and the line item cost. The FF&E must be verified
at the command level by those responsible for budgeting O&M appropriations. Any
equipment included on the 1391 must be estimated separately from the furnishings and
added to the FF&E budget.
3-4.2 Concept Design.
During the concept design phase, the interior designer will meet with representatives of
the using activity and the building design team to determine the design concept. The
design concept must be described in the design analysis as required in the project
delivery process. The design concept must meet the user's functional, physical, and
aesthetic needs. The interior designer will produce programming documents including
space utilization, personnel requirements, concept space plan, furniture foot print and
