The 149th Mission Support Group at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, is executing a sole source bridge contract with Cartridge Technology, LLC, to ensure uninterrupted Managed Print Services for the Texas Air National Guard. This nine-month contract, valued at $48,240, is necessary due to an abrupt termination of the previous contract by the Defense Logistics Agency on April 1, 2026, which provided only one business day’s notice and was caused by an internal financial systems issue beyond the command’s control. Cartridge Technology, LLC, is the only viable provider because it is the incumbent contractor with 32 Multi-Function Peripherals already installed and fully integrated across TXANG facilities, making it the sole entity capable of maintaining mission-critical printing, scanning, and copying operations without disruption by the July 1, 2026 deadline. Any replacement vendor would require weeks or months to remove existing equipment and deploy new systems, creating an unacceptable operational gap. The sole source determination complies with FAR 12.102(a), as this is a commercial service under the simplified acquisition threshold, and the justification documents the unavailability of alternative sources. Price reasonableness is assessed by comparing CTI’s quoted GSA Federal Supply Schedule rates to the pricing from the prior DLA contract. The contract will be performed at DWG, Texas, and is administered by the 149th Base Contracting Office, with Kimberly Rodriguez as the point of contact. No competitive evaluation was conducted, and the award is based solely on the necessity to preserve operational continuity with the incumbent provider.

Full Description

1. Agency and Requirement: The 149th Mission Support Group, Contracting Office (149 MSG/MSC), requires a nine-month bridge contract for Managed Print Services (MPS) for the Texas Air National Guard (MNANG). The total estimated value is $48,240.00.


2. Authority: This sole source determination is made in accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (FAR) 12.102(a) which states for acquisitions valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), document the decision that only one source is available and the basis for the decision. This action is for a commercial service, under the SAT, and this documentation satisfies the requirement of FAR 12.102(a).


3. Basis for Decision: The Contracting Officer has determined that Cartridge Technology, LLC, (CTI) is the only source reasonably available to provide the required services to prevent a lapse in mission-critical operations. The basis for this determination is as follows:
               a. Urgent and Unforeseen Requirement: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) terminated the preceding MPS contract with an effective date of 1 April 2026, providing only one business day's notice. This was due to an internal funds transfer issue with the financial systems and was outside the MNANG's control. We attempted to rectify this situation with DLA but were unsuccessful.
               b. Incumbent's Unique Position: The proposed contractor, CTI, was the incumbent under the DLA contract. As a result, CTI's equipment, consisting of 32 essential Multi-Function Peripherals (MFPs), is already installed and fully integrated within the TXANG's facilities
                c. Continuity of Service: No other vendor could possibly provide this service by the 1 July 2026 deadline. A new vendor would require several weeks or months to remove the 32 existing machines and install new equipment, which would cause an unacceptable break in mission-critical printing, scanning, and copying capabilities. CTI is the only vendor that can ensure the required continuity of service.
