Minimum Specs.docx

This is a Minimum Specifications document for printer service requirements issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD). The government requires Epson 20570 Series Printer support subscriptions with next-business-day on-site repair coverage for parts, labor, and print heads. The specification calls for two units of the Epson Plan Part# PSP20570S1 or equivalent product in the base year, with four additional option years (Option Years 1-4) each requiring two units of the same service plan. The document notes that the specification is a brand name or equivalent basis, with BNOE (But Not Otherwise Equivalent) language directing contractors to the Epson plan PSP20570S1.

The associated solicitation (N0016726Q1157) is issued as a total small business set-aside using Simplified Acquisition Procedures for a firm fixed-price purchase order. The NAICS code is 541519, and the government has justified restricting competition to qualified Epson resellers based on the requirement for authorized subscriptions with no valid alternatives under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). Interested parties must submit quotes and capability statements by 12:00 Noon on August 28, 2026, with questions due by 12:00 Noon on August 25, 2026. The Naval Sea Systems Command is the issuing agency for this procurement.
