Public sector sales represent a third of the furniture industry's market at approximately $4-6 billion annually, offering recession-proof opportunities with transparent purchasing processes and accessible information for strategic selling approaches.

• Federal government alone spends about $1.4-1.5 billion annually on furniture
• Public sector provides stability during economic downturns and recessions
• Government purchases involve public information that allows strategic preparation
• Current federal trends include agency decentralization and return-to-work mandates
• Federal spending on furniture is up 13% compared to previous year
• Purchase card spending continues to increase with limits potentially rising to $35,000
• New Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) eliminates commercial pricing restrictions
• Federal sales opportunities exist in every market across the country
• State, local, and education markets are roughly three times the size of the federal market
