Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), specifically DCSO-P NEW CUMBERLAND, has issued an Award Notice for a non-competitive action to secure a short-term lease and maintenance support for 81 multifunctional devices (MFDs) in Bahrain. This action, taken under FAR 13.106-1(b), ensures continuity of operations until new devices are delivered under a follow-on contract, expected by March 1, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the lease and maintenance of 81 MFDs. This bridge contract is critical to prevent DLA customers in Bahrain from operating without essential MFD capabilities, which would significantly degrade their mission accomplishment. The government does not own the existing MFDs.
Contract Details
- Type: Non-competitive / Sole Source Award Notice
- Duration: Up to 6-month lease (to bridge until new devices are delivered by March 1, 2026)
- Set-Aside: None (Non-competitive action)
- Product/Service Code: W074 - Lease Or Rental Of Equipment: Office Machines, Text Processing Systems And Visible Record Equipment
- Place of Performance: Bahrain
- Published Date: February 4, 2026
Rationale for Non-Competitive Award
The decision for a sole source award was based on the fact that no other vendor holds lease rights to the existing equipment. A competitive process would lead to unacceptable delays in contract award and delivery/installation of new equipment, jeopardizing the March 1, 2026, deadline for new devices and causing mission disruption.
