(BRAND NAME) Ink & Pads for Inkjet Printers (RICOH INFOPRINT 5000) for CPS Sites: IRS Detroit and Ogden

This solicitation, Amendment 0001 to Solicitation Number 5000226246, seeks the supply of Ricoh InfoPrint 5000 printer consumables—specifically black ink bags and ink collection pads—for IRS facilities in Detroit, Michigan, and Ogden, Utah. The requirement is for 600 to 900 units of the 12X8201 Dye Plus V2 Black ink bags and 20 to 28 units of the 12X1675 Ink Collection Pads, delivered in specified packaging configurations of two bags per case and four pads per carton. The contract is awarded on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, where offerors must first meet minimum technical requirements including being an authorized Ricoh reseller and providing OEM-compliant products before price is considered. All pricing fields in the CLIN table are blank, and no total contract value is provided, indicating that vendors must submit their own unit and extended prices. The place of performance is strictly limited to the two IRS locations, with delivery terms set at FOB Destination, meaning risk transfers only upon delivery. The period of performance is order-specific, requiring delivery within 30 days of order receipt, and invoicing must be submitted exclusively through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). The procurement is not set aside for any small business category, but offerors must complete representations regarding their size status under NAICS code 423420 and maintain active SAM.gov registration with a valid UEI. A critical special requirement is the inclusion of a non-negotiable Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) clause, mandating full disclosure of any potential OCI, submission of mitigation plans if applicable, and prohibiting future participation in related IRS acquisitions if the contractor was involved in developing the specifications. Technical acceptability is assessed strictly against OEM compliance and authorized reseller status, with no trade-offs permitted. Packaging, labeling, and preservation requirements are not specified beyond administrative needs such as UEI and CLIN labeling, and no formal military or industry standards for packaging or marking apply. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery point, governed by FAR clauses 52.246-2 and 52.246-4, with the Government retaining sole authority to accept or reject deliveries. All submissions must be made via email by the deadline of May 1, 2026
