    JOFOC_NOI001328.pdf
    The FBI's Procurement Section has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract for toner and associated supplies to ABM Federal Sales, Inc., following delays in a competitive acquisition process. This bridge Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is necessary to ensure continuous availability of these supplies, which are essential to the FBI's just-in-time replenishment program. The BPA will have a base period of six months, with two potential three-month extensions, and is valued at an estimated amount to be determined. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as the statutory authority for this non-competitive action, emphasizing the unique qualifications of ABM Federal Sales and the importance of avoiding service disruption. Market research indicated that necessary products are unavailable under GSA contracts, prompting a competitive approach as an open market requirement for future acquisitions. A notice of intent to sole source will be posted on SAM.gov to inform potential interested parties. This temporary measure aims to maintain continuity while the FBI completes a competitive solicitation for its toner needs.
