- Description
- The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has a continuing requirement for Pitney Bowes Postage Meter Rental and Equipment Maintenance for the Trademark Mail Center for a period of 10/1/2014 to 9/30/2015, with an estimated value of $18,850. The anticipated award date is 10/1/2014. Through market research, results indicate that Pitney Bowes Inc is the only known qualified source who can meet the entirety of the requirement. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 811212 (Computer and Office Machine Repair and Maintenance), proposed Federal Supply Code (FSC) is J074 (Maintenance and Repair of Office Machines), and Small Business Size Standard is $25 million. The subject requirement is being procured in accordance with the USPTO Efficiency Act, 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(4)(A) and the Patent and Trademark Guidelines (PTAG) 6.1.1 (Alternate Competition Method). The USPTO intends to negotiate and award a purchase order to Pitney Bowes Inc., (DUNS: 050994391), 1313 North Atlantic Street, 3rd Floor, Spokane, WA 99201-2303 for postage meter rental and onsite equipment maintenance of the following Pitney Bowes mail processing equipment and related hardware/software: MODEL SERIAL NUMBER DESCRIPTION JB75 0014981 00 LB TABLETOP SCALE JB75 0014965 100 # PLATFORM ASSY F7B0 0001434 DI950 FOLDER/INSERTER DW00 0010761 DM1000 WOW BASE DW00 0010767 DM1000 WOW BASE 1E05 0014786 LASER PRINTER-BROTHER U7PS 0020690 GALAXY/DM POWER STACKER SF80 0120783 SOFTGUARD FOR DM800 SF80 0133767 SOFTGUARD FOR DM800 1M00 4244562 POSTAGE METER 1M00 4244994 POSTAGE METER 1D00 0120783 INTELLILINK FOR DM800I 1D00 0133767 INTELLILINK FOR DM800I The requirement is for a one (1) year maintenance agreement for all equipment cited above, to include rental of two (2) postage meters cited above. The equipment is compatible to other Pitney Bowes equipment in the Mail Center. Replacing or changing any of this equipment at this time would require replacement of other current equipment in the Mail Center as well, which could cause a disruption in the mail processing system for the Trademark Mail Center, as well as additional costs for new equipment and time constraints. It is vital to have integrated continuity of services for this equipment with one vendor, as opposed to having multiple vendors maintain separate pieces of equipment, which may disrupt the overall workflow at our Mail Center should there be miscommunications or conflicts with different maintenance agreements. Vendors, including small business vendors, that are authorized resellers of Pitney Bowes equipment/Postage Meter Model Number 1M00 and maintenance and who can provide proof of reseller authorization/authorization to service equipment from Pitney Bowes and rent exact model/serial number of postage meters cited above, are invited to submit information establishing a capability to fulfill this requirement. If the USPTO does not identify other acceptable sources capable of providing this requirement, the USPTO will award purchase order to Pitney Bowes, Inc. Responses are due by 12:00pm Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 9/30/2014 and are to be submitted via e-mail to Doug Reed, Contracting Officer, at douglas.reed@uspto.gov. Please include "Response to USPTO-DHR-20140925" in subject line of e-mail. No phone calls please. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes.
