About this opportunity

The Internal Revenue Service is procuring Ricoh InfoPrint 5000 printer consumables, specifically dye ink and ink collection pads, through RFQ 5000226246. This is a brand-name, sole-source acquisition justified by the fact that Ricoh is the only manufacturer and supplier of OEM-certified ink compatible with the IRS's multi-million-dollar InfoPrint 5000 printers; use of refurbished or generic ink would void the manufacturer's warranty and risk expensive equipment failures. Quoters must be Ricoh Authorized/Certified Resellers and provide proof that all products are Ricoh OEM, along with their UEI, unit and extended pricing for each contract line item, applicable discounts, and standard commercial terms including delivery timelines, FOB terms, and warranty information. The contract will be awarded using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation procedures on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis. The deadline for submitting questions is April 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST, and quotations are due by May 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST; quotes must remain valid for 60 days, and vendors must maintain active SAM.gov registration at the time of award.

This procurement includes no set-aside designations and will be awarded directly to Ricoh USA as the sole identified vendor. The requirement consists of six line items totaling 2,100 bags of Dye Plus V2 Black ink and 76 cartons of ink collection pads to be delivered to two locations: IRS Detroit in Detroit, Michigan, and IRS Ogden in Ogden, Utah. The contract requires delivery FOB Destination within 30 days of receipt of order, with all supplies to be delivered to the specified IRS sites where IRS employees will handle installation. These consumables are critical to operations, as the two CPS sites process over 200 million letters annually and any failure to maintain these systems would significantly impact mission operations and delay taxpayer service delivery. The specific dollar value of the award has been redacted from the procurement documents.
