About this opportunity
The Social Security Administration has awarded contract 28321326P00050071 on a sole-source basis to procure CDs, CD sleeves, bubble mailers, and EPSON high-capacity printer ink cartridges to support Special Notice Option (SNO) services, with the award made on August 6, 2026.
The justification invokes FAR 6.103-2(b), unusual and compelling urgency, based on the Department of Commerce's decision to disband the National Technical Information Service, which currently manages SNO operations for SSA. SNO services deliver accessible communications to Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries, including those who are blind or visually impaired, in alternative formats such as braille, data CD, audio CD, and large print. The JOFOC identifies Lazer Cartridges Plus, LLC as the sole vendor capable of providing all required items necessary to support the SNO process and comply with the American Council of the Blind v. Social Security Administration class action ruling. SSA's existing supply stock was projected to last until early August, creating an immediate need to replenish inventory for at least one year to prevent service disruption and ensure continued compliance with federal accessibility requirements. The contracting officer, Abel A. Alfonso, signed the JOFOC on July 15, 2026. SSA committed to continuing marketplace surveillance and reviewing capability statements from vendors to address barriers to competition in subsequent acquisitions.
