The Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) Missouri Basin Regional Office intends to award a purchase order to Repro Graphics, Inc.

The quote will be due approximately 30 business days after the solicitation is issued. Government anticipates an award on or around May 11, 2026.

Reclamation’s experience is that only one responsible source, Selby’s, can provide the product support needed that will satisfy the agency’s requirements. A Determination to Solicit from a Single Source is being prepared. The Bureau of Reclamation has determined not to compete this contract, pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting from a Single Source. For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract deem only one source reasonably available. This procurement will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures with only one reasonably available source.

Vendors that believe they can fully provide the required services are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification and capability statement to the Contract Specialist. In order to allow for sufficient Government consideration and potential quote evaluation, vendors must submit their written Letter of Interest and capability statement no later than February 10, 2026, at 3:00 PM MDT. Responses received after February 10, 2026, may not be considered by the Government.

Letters of Interest and capability statement in response to this notice must be emailed to the Contract Specialist, Sydney Oakes, at soakes@usbr.gov.
