In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) paragraph 3.2.2.4, the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the basis for the FAA's decision to extend the current contract (DTFACT-12-D-00018) with Lexmark International Inc. of Lexington KY. This extension and associated contract ceiling increase will allow for the continued purchase of printers and multi-function devices (MFD), and related support services for a period of twelve (12) months. The purpose of this extension is to allow for sufficient time for the FAA to complete the planned competition for a new contract for this requirement. The FAA is currently in the pre-solicitation planning stages for this new follow-on procurement and a market survey has previously been posted for it under DTFACT-17-R-00011. Lexmark is the current provider under contract DTFAWA-12-D-00018. This contract is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under the Strategic Acquisition of Various Equipment and Supplies (SAVES) Program. This contract provides simplified purchasing of printing equipment for the FAA’s CONUS and OCONUS locations. This is a sole source requirement to Lexmark as they are the only current provider of the above products under the FAA mandatory source SAVES contract. Accordingly, a competitive solicitation is not available for this immediate requirement. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA is not liable for any costs associated with the preparing of a response to this announcement.
