MFD Lease and Service (Dept. 53) LIMITED SOURCES JUSTIFICATION (UNDER SAT) Pursuant to FAR 8.401(b) and GSAR deviation 538.7104-3(a). 1. Identification of the Agency and Contracting Activity: Requiring Activity: Office of Naval Research / CIO Code 53 Contracting Activity: ONR 02 Contracts 2. Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Approved: This is a request to restrict competition for the issuance of a delivery/task order against a General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract. Proposed Contractor: CTI - Cartridge Technologies, LLC; (Prior DLA Task Order: SP7000-21-F-0269 / RA 21-0152) 3. Description of the Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency's Needs: Description: Procurement covers the lease and service of 45 MFDs located throughout ONR. DLA waiver dtd April 2, 2026 authorizes a one-time exception to the DoD single Manager DoD Document Services policy to utilize non-DLA contracting resources to retain use of their preexisting leased MFDs that were not renewed as of April 1, 2026. This 60-day action covers the remaining service gap while the new long-term competitive contract is finalized and awarded. Estimated Dollar Value: $23,366.52 Period of Performance / Delivery Date: 9/1/26 - 10/31/26 4. The Authority and Supporting Rationale: [ X ] (A) Urgent and Compelling Need: An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays. (Rationale: As detailed in Section 5, allowing the current lease to lapse while attempting to compete a 60-day requirement would result in the immediate removal of all 45 MFDs. The time required for a new vendor to deliver, install, and configure replacement equipment would cause unacceptable delays and a critical disruption to ONR's continuity of operations.) [ ] (B) Only One Source (Peculiar to one manufacturer): Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. [ ] (C) Logical Follow-On: In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original FSS order. 5. Justification and Rationale for Restricting Competition: The current multi-function devices (MFDs) and printers utilized by ONR are under an active lease. A change in the servicing contractor will necessitate a complex logistics phase: the outgoing vendor must reclaim the 45 leased assets, while the new vendor must deliver and configure replacement equipment. A 60-day lease term presents a significant barrier to competition, as few vendors will find it economically viable to deploy and retrieve 45 devices for such a short duration. In the event of a procurement gap, ONR will lack the essential printing and scanning infrastructure required to maintain continuity of operations. 6. Determination of Best Value (To be completed by Contracting Officer): The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represent…
