RECOVERY: Lexmark Network Printers to Support National Hearing Center and Disability Determination

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued a firm fixed-price call order under its existing Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Lexmark International, Inc., for the procurement of color and monochrome network printers, printer stands, and toner cartridges. This procurement supports SSA’s initiative funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to reduce disability backlog by providing printers to new employees at the National Hearing Office in Baltimore, MD, and Disability Determination Sites across the United States. The BPA was competitively awarded to Lexmark through the GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. The specific equipment to be acquired includes Lexmark T644 monochrome printers, C782 color printers, associated stands, and consumables, all integral to SSA’s efforts to enhance operational efficiency at these locations. This contracting action is informational, meaning no additional responses are solicited from contractors beyond the existing BPA holder. The SSA’s Office of Acquisition Grants is managing the contract, with the designated contract specialist available for inquiries related to this procurement.
