About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Tennessee Army National Guard seeks to award a nine-month, $160,097.31 bridge contract on a sole source basis to Ricoh for copier services. Due to the expiration of its previous copier services contract on July 31, 2021 and the need to allow additional time to refine requirements and conduct proper market research for an upcoming multifunction device contract, the justification cites only Ricoh as the responsible source capable of providing the required copier services until a new CHESS contract is in place. The contract was awarded to an unknown vendor on July 30, 2021 for an unknown amount under solicitation number W912L7-21-Q-0529.
