1. Does VA require that the printers are PIV supported or that the Color Large Duty Printer and Monochrome Large Duty Printers have installed operable card readers with the device at delivery?

Answer: Printers shall have installed operable card readers with the device at delivery, not merely the capability for an add-on.



2. Is it possible that this effort, which can have up to three awardees, can result in printers from One Original Equipment Manager?

Answer: Yes.

Performance Work Statement (PWS) Paragraph 5.6, Delivery Order Procedures, is hereby incorporated into the PWS. Potential Offerors are strongly encouraged to thoroughly read through the subject change below and its addition to the Request for Proposal which has been inserted in red font at PWS Paragraph 5.6.



5.6 DELIVERY ORDER PROCEDURES

The DO CO shall provide fair opportunity to each EPC Contractor to be considered for all DOs exceeding the micro-purchase threshold ($3,000), unless an exception to fair opportunity under FAR Subpart 16.505(b)(2) applies. Electronic ordering capability, if available, shall be used to the maximum extent practicable. If an electronic process is not available, a manual solicitation process (email) shall be used. The Government requires all contractors to submit a proposal on all future DO solicitations. By submitting a proposal for award of an EPC IDIQ contract, the Contractor is confirming its intention to compete for all future DOs, unless unable to compete. The parties agree that this is a material clause of the Contract.



If the Contractor intends not to submit a proposal, the contractor must notify the DO CO of that intent in advance of the closing date of the DO solicitation, for CO approval. Such notifications must show cause why the company is unable to compete, and demonstrate in detail why it has an inability to compete.

Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the Government pursuing any and all remedies set forth in this Contract, including, but not limited to Termination for Cause.



Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

Added: Apr 17, 2015 6:00 pm This purpose of this posting is to publish the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Enterprise Printer Contract (EPC). There is an ongoing need throughout VA to procure small, medium, and large configuration monochrome and color printers and associated warranty support to replace equipment that is currently, or soon to be, obsolete or at end-of-life. EPC will provide customers throughout all of VA with a means of procuring required printers to replace/refresh inventory to satisfy growing demands and to boost productivity in its operations. Providing a multiple award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) enterprise contract vehicle for VA offices to fulfill their requirements will enable VA to quickly and efficiently acquire the most current laser printers that meet customer's needs.

To support this requirement, a firm-fixed price, multiple-award IDIQ contract will be put in place with a 2-year ordering period. Up to a total of three IDIQ contracts are anticipated to result from this 100% total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside competitive acquisition. The solicitation number assigned to this effort is VA118-15-R-0163. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 334118. The Request for Information was released under VA118-15-N-0163. In order to provide timely responses, the Government will accept questions submitted to the VOA (https://www.voa.va.gov/) through April 26, 2015.
