Knoll is a constellation of design-driven brands and people, working together with our clients to create inspired modern interiors. We are people, collaborators, products, and brands, united by a rigorous process, shared experience, and a distinct modern sensibility.
Our strength in office systems, seating, furniture, textiles, leather, and architectural and acoustical elements allows us to compose integrated solutions from products and services that naturally work together. Since 1938, we’ve been thinking about how people interact with their environments, and how their environments impact what they do.
Knoll is Modern Always because modern always works.
U.S. Communities and National IPA, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of OMNIA Partners, have come together as OMNIA Partners, Public Sector. All public sector participants already registered with National IPA or U.S. Communities continue to have access to all contracts, with certain exceptions, in the portfolio and do not need to re-register to use a legacy National IPA, legacy U.S. Communities, or new OMNIA Partners contract. U.S. Communities and National IPA remain separate legal entities and lead agency contracts completed under each brand are effective and available for use through the contract’s approved term. In the event we believe re-registration is necessary for any reason, OMNIA Partners will let you know.

Space matters—it is a key factor in attracting and retaining both students and faculty. Knoll offers numerous solutions appropriate across campus—whether for high visibility areas like libraries and residence halls or for hard-working areas like laboratories and active learning classrooms. While there is a spectrum of needs within these different spaces—from casual to formal, impromptu to planned, open to enclosed—research confirms the importance of distinct choices for each type of interactivity.
Our commitment to innovation and modern design has yielded a comprehensive portfolio of furnishings to help universities and colleges meet their strategic goals including creating effective learning spaces, growing enrollments, conveying the proper brand image and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

How do I place an order with Knoll?
- Email omniapartners@knoll.com or Request Information and a Knoll representative will contact you.
- A representative from Knoll and one of our certified Knoll dealers will contact your agency to discuss your space planning and furniture needs.
- After determining the right solution for your agency, the Knoll dealership will provide you with a furniture quote based on our OMNIA Partners pricing. After receiving a formal proposal from a Knoll dealer, the purchase order needs to reference the Fairfax County, VA contract # 4400003404, available through OMNIA Partners. Specific purchase order requirements will be provided by your dealer and will include a request that you enclose a Tax Exempt certificate if not paying tax.
If my agency already has an account with Knoll Inc. do I need to set up a new account?
No. Contact your Knoll Sales Representative to have the program linked to your existing account. You may also contact the Knoll OMNIA Partners National Program Manager via email at omniapartners@knoll.com
Can private universities order using OMNIA Partners?
YES! Both public and private schools (K-12 and higher education) are eligible.
Does the competitive pricing apply, regardless of quantity?
Using the program assures an agency they are getting a very competitive price on any size order. There are no costs, minimum quantity requirements or spend limits associated with using the contract, available through OMNIA Partners. Our best pricing only is available through OMNIA Partners, 52-69% discount by product category.
How does it save time and resources?
The key value for the agency is resource savings. On average, OMNIA Partners participating agencies will save 5% over traditional procurement practices. Most agencies today are spread too thin. Agencies have downsized administrative departments, and open purchasing and maintenance positions are left unfilled. The program provides a mechanism to save the time and costs associated with obtaining quotes or preparing solicitations. The time savings allow the department to accomplish its work tasks more efficiently with the personnel on hand.
Which products are available on the OMNIA Partners program?
All Knoll products are included.
Can I submit one purchase order for both Knoll and non-Knoll items?
YES! There is an option available allowing clients to place orders directly with the Knoll dealer. In addition, this option may help agencies meet "buy local" or "small business procurement" goals. Contact your Knoll representative for additional information.
Who sends the order to Knoll?
Whether the client purchase order is addressed to Knoll or to the Knoll dealer, the client purchase order should be sent to the Knoll dealer so that they can review it for accuracy. The Knoll dealer will then forward the agency purchase order to Knoll electronically along with a full bill of materials.
