Why Nonprofits & Government Agencies Choose Lyco
Remanufactured furniture maximizes a limited budget
Remanufactured Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Haworth furniture delivers name-brand durability at a fraction of new-furniture cost — critical when a furniture budget is set by a grant, a board, or a public appropriation rather than open-ended discretionary spend.
A sustainability story that matches the mission
Every remanufactured or pre-owned piece Lyco sells is furniture kept out of a landfill. For environmentally minded nonprofits and public agencies with sustainability commitments of their own, that’s a procurement decision that reinforces the organization’s values instead of working against them.
Contract vendor status simplifies procurement
As a CT Approved Vendor and MHEC contract vendor, Lyco can often be engaged directly by qualifying nonprofits and government agencies without a separate competitive bid — saving the administrative time a formal RFP process requires.
40 years of experience with public and grant-funded projects
Family-owned since 1984, Lyco has furnished more than 800 local clients — including nonprofits, schools, and government entities — across 15 million square feet of commercial space in the Northeast.
Where We Serve Nonprofit & Government Clients
Lyco furnishes nonprofit and government offices throughout Hartford, Manchester, and New Haven, CT; Boston and Springfield, MA; and Providence, RI.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a nonprofit purchase furniture from Lyco without a competitive bid process?
In many cases, yes. Lyco’s CT Approved Vendor and MHEC contract vendor status allows qualifying nonprofits and government agencies to purchase directly, though organizations should confirm their own procurement thresholds.
Is remanufactured furniture a good fit for a grant-funded furniture budget?
Yes. Remanufactured furniture provides name-brand quality and durability at a lower cost than new furniture, which typically allows a grant-funded budget to furnish more space or higher-quality pieces than new furniture alone would allow.
Does buying remanufactured or pre-owned furniture support sustainability goals?
Yes. Every remanufactured or pre-owned piece is furniture diverted from a landfill and rebuilt for continued use, which aligns with the environmental commitments many nonprofits and public agencies have made.
What organizations has Lyco worked with in the nonprofit and government space?
Lyco has furnished nonprofits, schools, and government entities among its more than 800 local clients across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island over more than 40 years in business.
How long does it take to furnish a nonprofit or government office?
Most orders ship in 2-3 weeks, compared to the 6-8 week industry standard.

The Smart Choice: Remanufactured Office Furniture
One of the most common questions we get from nonprofits and government agencies is: “How do we get high-quality furniture without blowing the budget?” The answer is remanufactured.
Lyco specializes in remanufactured office furniture from Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Haworth — three of the most trusted names in commercial furniture. Our remanufacturing process restores these systems to like-new condition with fresh fabric, new components, and updated finishes. You get the performance and aesthetics of premium furniture at a fraction of the cost.
Every remanufactured workstation we sell comes with a limited lifetime warranty. It’s sustainable, affordable, and built to last.
