Purchase Order DOLB099E28029

The U.S. Employment Standards Administration (ESA) awarded an 8(a) sole source purchase order to Technology Solutions Provider, LLC (Tspi) for fiscal year 2009 copier maintenance services. The contract, valued at $21,506.24 with a firm fixed price structure, was awarded on October 1, 2008, and completed by September 30, 2009. Services were performed at the ESA's location in Washington, DC. As a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business, Tspi qualified for the 8(a) Business Development Program set-aside designation, which supports contracting opportunities for economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs.

Technology Solutions Provider, LLC, a subsidiary of ABT Associates Inc., is an IT solutions provider specializing in software licensing, infrastructure support, and technical services to federal agencies. While this specific award focused on copier maintenance services, the company has since expanded its federal contract portfolio substantially, holding significant indefinite delivery vehicles including a $140 million blanket purchase agreement with the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research and multiple basic ordering agreements with the USDA. The 8(a) sole source designation on this ESA award reflects Tspi's small business status and participation in federal small disadvantaged business programs.
