J and A for publishing.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A) issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for maintenance services on a Presstek 52DI printing press. The FBI's Finance and Facilities Division requires custom/special print services and general repair/maintenance, including 2 annual inspections and genuine Presstek replacement parts. The contract will be a new agreement with a firm fixed price.

The FBI is seeking a sole-source contract with Mark Andy, Inc., who purchased Presstek in 2018 and is the only authorized dealer/servicer for this equipment. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as the statutory authority, arguing that only Mark Andy can provide the unique maintenance services required. Market research conducted through SAM.gov and federal procurement databases confirmed no alternative vendors. The contract will cover yearly service/maintenance for the Presstek 52DI Direct Image printing press, with Mark Andy's technicians being the only ones qualified to perform the specialized maintenance and provide necessary technical support.
