5. Reason for Authority Cited:

We currently only have EPSON large format printers in our facility and have verified their capabilities such as speed, accuracy, and performance to help with our job consistency. Our familiarity with these specific models allows us to set up work quickly and troubleshoot problems, thus saving the government time and money. The proposed machines use the same Epson Ink, Tanks, Paper, and rollers we already have on hand. We have thousands of dollars in ink tanks, print heads, rollers, roller adjusters, cutters, and Epson priority paper. It would cost approximately $15,000 to purchase these items for a different make and model printer(s).

The government does not expect to recoup enough cost savings by buying other manufacturer products.

DPG would have to purchase double the items listed above as well as manage two printer systems.
