NMR waiver

1.Introduction:
Per 49 U.S.C. 40110(d)(2), the Small Business Act (SBA) does not apply to FAA procurements. Therefore, the Small Business Administration’s Nonmanufacturer Rule, and its waiver process, does not apply to the FAA. Nonetheless, the Contracting Officer, in conjunction with the FAA’s Small Business Program, made a similar determination to address and ensure appropriate consideration of the language found in AMS Clause 3.6.1-7(b)(2) and NAICS Code 325992, which are conceptually related to the Nonmanufacturer Rule. In accordance with AMS Guidance T.3.6.1.A.1(e), the Contracting Officer requests that FAA Small Business Office (AAP-20) adopt the following SBA class waiver 1 of the Nonmanufacturer rule for recompete solicitation 697DCK-25-R-00368 for the Printer Consumables Contract (hereafter the “Contract”). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) seeks to enter a 60month single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the purchase of printer consumables within the 48 United States, and the District of Columbia, to include nonforeign Outside Continuous United States locations. The FAA intends to acquire multiple brands and models of printer consumables set forth in Attachment IV – Printer Consumables List. This requirement supports the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) agency-wide Strategic Sourcing for the Acquisition of Various Equipment and Supplies (SAVES) program. The Office of Information and Technology (AIT) is seeking an agency-wide indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle that will support FAA’s toner and printer consumable needs. The products included in this contract consist of 750 + items of toner and printer consumables. All supplies provided under this Contract will be performed in accordance with the attached Statement of Work (SOW) including the SOW attachments along with other documents listed in Section J of this Screening Information Request (SIR). The minimum ordering obligation under

this Contract is $1,000.00. The Government has no obligation to order additional consumables to the Contractor beyond the minimum ordering obligation specified. The requested Nonmanufacturer class waiver will apply to the entire Contract and cover all 750+ toner ink
