About this opportunity
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity on December 12, 2025, for a two-year copier lease extension from February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2028, with maintenance coverage through December 31, 2027. The justification covers the continued lease of twenty-eight (28) Konica copiers through Alvarez, LLC under NASA's SEWP V contract, with the agency anticipating the return of approximately four (4) units during the extension period. FHFA justified the sole-source extension based on the agency's transition to full-time office operations and its inability to determine long-term copier and space utilization requirements, making a two-year extension more practical than transitioning to new equipment or pursuing short-term market alternatives. The agency cited the lack of cost-effective short-term leasing options in the open market and the unnecessary labor costs and operational disruptions that would result from equipment changes. The award to Alvarez, LLC is scheduled for February 1, 2026, with the specific contract value redacted in the published document. FHFA plans to fully compete a new copier lease under NASA SEWP VI in fiscal year 2028 when the current equipment reaches end-of-life.
