This is a Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) form for a sole source federal procurement under the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule Program.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), through its Office of Procurement in Alexandria, Virginia, is establishing a new Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreement (FSS-BPA) with TSRC, Inc., a woman-owned small business, for paper delivery services. The acquisition package number is ACQ-26-1136 // 274-2253, and the contract vehicle is GSA Multiple Award Schedule 4/QSEA20D008E. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031, consisting of a base year and four option years with a fixed-price structure. The procurement requires delivery of cartons of 8.5" x 11" 30% recycled white copy paper containing 10 reams per carton with 500 sheets per ream to USPTO employees throughout the continental United States and territories. TSRC will provide nationwide distribution capabilities, bulk and individual box delivery, drop-shipping services, and monitoring/reporting to track paper usage and ensure compliance with agency policy. The justification for sole source award is based on GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(iii) as a logical follow-on to an existing competitive FSS-BPA that expires in 2026, emphasizing cost savings from TSRC's specialized packaging and strategically advantaged delivery network, excellent past performance, and the need for service continuity to avoid interruption of the agency's critical mission functions in patent and trademark examination.
