I have a project where the furniture was not included in the base contract and the contractor therefore did not include it in the material costs for the project. If the furniture was under separate contract, does it have to be included in the LEED material costs? What credits are affected by this material cost for commercial interiors?

Yes - for LEED-CI, furniture must be included regardless of who provides it (see page 208 of the ID+C Reference Guide). It doesn't matter that it was in a separate contract/provided by another party. You will need to include the cost of all Division 12 items in all of the materials-related credits (MRc3-MRc7).
