Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has issued a Special Notice regarding a planned Sole Source Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) buyout of 118 HP multi-purpose printers currently leased at Fort Polk. This action is critical to prevent the removal of printing capabilities, which would severely impact patient care and administrative functions.

Inquiries regarding this notice are due by June 22, 2026.

Additional Notes
This notice is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other than Full and Open Competition, citing statutory authority RFO 6.103-1(c)(2)(i) due to substantial duplication of cost. Market research supports a two-part strategy: a sole-source buyout followed by competitive support. MinBurn Technology Group is the identified source for the buyout. This is not a solicitation for the buyout itself.
