- Description
- The Library of Congress requires administrative copier maintenance and support for at least three (3) months from 1 April-30 June 2016. The current contract for these services expires 31 March 2016. The Library requires a short-term contract to cover the period between expiration of the current contract and fully operational performance resulting from the Library's ongoing source selection for Enterprise-Wide Print Management (LCISS16R0004-0003). The successful offeror under LCISS16R0004-0003 will be required to successfully pass the Library's Assessment and Authorization (A&A) process to provide these services upon the expiration of the short-term contract. The Library intends to issue this requirement as a sole source contract to Xerox Corporation, the incumbent. Xerox Corporation is the only responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 (41 U.S.C 3304(a)(1)). This is because any provider of the required services must successfully undergo A&A before installing equipment or software on the Library network. As the incumbent, Xerox Corporation has previously passed A&A and is currently installed on the Library network. The A&A process is involved and would take another vendor months to complete, once identified. Library operations would suffer dramatically in the interim.
