What Space does
SPACE Inc. (legal name: Solution Planning and Contracting Environment, Inc.) is a workplace design firm and contract office furniture dealership founded in 1995 by Kathie Fuce-Hobohm and Lisa Hulbert, headquartered in Midland, Michigan with a second office (SPACE EAST) in Alexandria, Virginia. The company delivers interior design, space planning, furniture procurement, professional installation, and sustainable workspace services through a turnkey model to commercial clients and federal government agencies. Approximately 24 staff serve customers across all 50 states, with 6,500+ businesses served cumulatively and 1,000+ federal installations completed. SPACE is a WBENC-certified women-owned small business with SBA Michigan WOSB certification, and operates as a preferred dealer for Haworth, National Office Furniture, AIS, Global Healthcare, Humanscale, OFS, United Chair, and Groupe LaCasse, supported by GSA Schedule contracts 47QSMA19D08NB and GS-28F-0025P.
The service portfolio centers on three differentiated offerings. SPACE anew™ is a furniture upcycling and remanufacturing program that repurposes existing assets at reported 30-50% lower cost than new purchases with up to 90% reuse and zero landfill waste; output meets BIFMA Level 2 and ANSI standards with a lifetime warranty. SPACE Facility Armor™ is an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment that combines a CDC-approved hospital-grade disinfectant with electrostatic application, claimed to kill 99% of microbes and inhibit repopulation for over two years. Decommissioning services provide circular-economy removal with ESG-aligned reporting. The underlying technology is primarily process and supply-chain know-how — remanufacturing discipline, integrated project management, and installation logistics — rather than software, and SPACE does not offer a public or partner-facing API.
SPACE generates revenue through project-based design fees, contract-grade office furniture sales, and recurring services (antimicrobial treatments, decommissioning). Federal Government is the primary vertical, anchored by a $50 million FDA Blanket Purchase Agreement (2021), a $15 million NIH Rockledge I&II project (2019-2021), a $4 million HHS OASH Tower project (2020), and $2 million+ in Department of State task orders, layered over six secondary verticals — Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Finance, and Senior Living. A second-generation leadership transition took effect on February 2, 2022, with founder's son Paddy Hobohm becoming President and Kathie Fuce-Hobohm assuming the Chairman role; the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding rounds.
