    Title

    The U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), seeks a limited-source task order for Xerox copier rentals and maintenance services. This procurement, falling under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C), is for 48 existing Xerox copiers at their central office in Washington, D.C. The justification for limiting competition to Xerox is based on economy and efficiency, as Xerox is the sole provider of maintenance for its machines. A lapse in the current arrangement would incur significant costs for removal and reinstallation of machines nationwide, leading to substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays. The BOP currently uses a GSA contract (GS-03-137DA) for 115 copiers but is developing its own Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for all copiers. This twelve-month order with Xerox will prevent service disruption while the BPA is established. Market research confirmed Xerox as the only company capable of providing these specific machines and services.
