The Office of Naval Research (ONR) requires a 60-day lease and service contract for 45 multifunction devices (MFDs) located throughout ONR to prevent a critical operational gap while a long-term contract is finalized. This urgent action, with a performance period from September 1 to October 31, 2026, is justified because the short duration makes commercial competition economically non-viable. The estimated budget for this bridge requirement is $23,366.52. The contract is being limited to the incumbent vendor, CTI - Cartridge Technologies, LLC, to avoid the unacceptable delays and operational disruption that would result from equipment removal and reinstallation. This one-time exception is authorized by a DLA waiver and will cover the service gap until a new competitive contract is awarded.
