- Description
- This notice announces the intent by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) Headquarters Activities to lease a total of 34 multi function devices (MFDs) and related services on a sole source basis from Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc., 1595 Spring Hill Road STE 400, Vienna, VA 22182-2228, as prescribed in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The Government will continue to lease existing MFDs, as detailed below; additionally, the Government will procure services to include regularly scheduled maintenance as well as out-of-warranty hardware maintenance, repair, and parts replacement for all 34 machines. Model#: bizhub 554e; Description: Monochrome Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax; Qty: 6 Model#: bizhub 454e; Description: Monochrome Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax; Qty: 4 Model#: bizhub 364e; Description: Monochrome Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax; Qty: 5 Model#: bizhub 284e; Description: Monochrome Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax; Qty: 7 Model#: bizhub C554e; Description: Full Color Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax; Qty: 8 Model#:�bizhub 558; Description: BW Copier/Printer/Color Scanner/Fax; Qty: 2 Model#: bizhub C558; Description: Color Copier/Printer/Scanner/Fax; Qty: 2 The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 532420 and the size standard is $35,000,000. The MFDs listed above were previously provided under a (competitively awarded) Task Order issued against the currently expired Computer Hardware Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS) MFD Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The machines provided for under this new sole source contract will reflect the same currently leased MFDs in lieu of delivery of new/replacement machines (barring any machines determined to be EOL (end of life) by the manufacturer/contractor). The contract will be established for a 12-month base period and one 6-month option period for a total period of performance not to exceed 18-months. Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. (KMBS) is the only reasonable source who can provide the required supplies or services to the Government without causing a lapse in service. This is due to the current (unforeseen) industry standard for configured-to-order multi-function devices which currently stands at 90 to 120 days due to material shortages and COVID-19 manufacturing/shipping delays (i.e. supply chain issues as commonly referred to) with even longer delays expected in the near term. As the nature of a lease would require replacement machines to be delivered, only the current contract holder (KMBS) is able to allow for the continued use of the existing machines therefore avoiding a lapse in service. The machines and maintenance support required under this procurement action are necessary to the mission of USAMRDC and the Headquarters Activities and support the essential day to day administrative and management operations of these activities.� Proper maintenance and availability of these devices are necessary to ensure timely and effective production and dissemination of reports, presentations, forms, and related information management resources to support the mission of USAMRDC and its Activities.� Any delays in providing these products and services would adversely impact mission effectiveness and would be unacceptable. This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.203(a). This Special Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the date listed below, which reflects fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice, the Government intends to issue an award directly to Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Ms. Lisa Kuhns at lisa.z.kuhns.civ@mail.mil. Interested concerns must identify their capability in writing to the above e-mail address or by mail to the address listed below no later than 10:00 am Eastern Time, Wednesday, 14 April 2022.
