single_source_justification_CO_S_20250820 rd_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a Marketing Printing Press from the 30th Contracting Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. The procurement is for a production printing press with complete trimming and binding capabilities, able to print full booklets and magazines on various materials, sizes, and print types. The justification specifically focuses on acquiring a Konica Minolta Accuriopress printer through GSA Advantage, which was the only option meeting the agency's August 31st purchase and delivery deadline.

The document details efforts to obtain competition, noting that when researching production printing press options, the Konica Minolta Accuriopress was the sole printer meeting requirements. The 30th FSS (Flight Support Squadron) plans to continue monitoring the market to identify potential GSA Advantage vendors with 899-compliant solutions to minimize future single-source awards. The Contracting Officer, Christopher Hummel (GS-12, USAF), has determined that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source as reasonably available, with the procurement action dated for 20-August-2025.
