Invitation for Bid
GSA-009-26
Outright Purchase of a Multifunction Printer
Follow-up Questions and Concerns received from Xerox Corporation on July 23, 2026.
1. Print Speed Requirement
Xerox Initial Question:
With regard to the print speed requirement of “Minimum 40 pages per minute (ppm) or greater,” Xerox
requested that the specification be revised to allow a range of “35 to 40 pages per minute (ppm) or
greater” to permit consideration of additional qualifying models.
GSA Response:
“Specification amended to read ‘Up to 40 pages per minute or greater.’”
Xerox Follow-Up Request:
Xerox respectfully requests clarification regarding the amended specification. The phrase “up to 40 pages
per minute or greater” appears to create a broad range that could allow devices with significantly lower
print speeds to be considered compliant. Taken literally, a device capable of printing only 10 ppm could
fall within the “up to 40 ppm” range, despite being substantially lower than the originally specified 40
ppm requirement.
In the copier industry, multifunction printers are typically offered in speed ranges such as:
25-30 ppm
35-40 ppm
45-50 ppm
55-60 ppm
Higher
To better align with what appears to have been the original intent of the specification, Xerox respectfully
requests that the print speed requirement be narrowed to the 35-40 ppm speed range.
Response: See Amendment #4.
2. Paper Weight Requirement
Xerox Initial Question:
With regard to “Paper Weight: 14 lb. bond to 115 lb. index,” Xerox requested that the specification be
revised to “16 lb. bond to 115 lb. index”. This reflects practical operating ranges, as standard office
environments typically utilize 20 lb. bond paper.
GSA Response:
“Bid specification will remain the same. These specifications identify the agency’s minimum requirements
and do not preclude the submission of products with higher capabilities.”

Xerox Follow-Up Request:
Can GSA please confirm that a device supporting a paper weight range of 16 lb. bond to 115 lb. index
would be considered compliant with the specification of 14 lb. bond to 115 lb. index, given that 16 lb.
bond falls within the specified range?
If such a device would not be considered compliant, Xerox respectfully renews its request that the
specification be amended to “16 lb. bond to 115 lb. index.”
Response: Yes.
3. Warm-Up Time Requirement
Xerox Initial Question:
With regard to “Warm-Up Time: 60 seconds or less,” Xerox requested that the acceptable warm-up time
be revised to “90 seconds or less” to allow consideration of additional qualifying models.
GSA Response:
“Bid specification will remain the same. These specifications identify the agency’s minimum requirements
and do not preclude the submission of products with higher capabilities.”
Xerox Follow-Up Request:
Can GSA please confirm whether a device with a 90-second warm-up time would be considered compliant
with the requirement of “60 seconds or less”?
If such a device would not be considered compliant, Xerox respectfully renews its request that the
specification be revised to allow a warm-up time of 90 seconds or less.
Response: See Amendment #4.
Follow-up Questions and Concerns received from All Star Guam Copier on July 27, 2026.
1. Under SPECIFICATIONS Print Speed:
o Currently reads Up to 40 pages per minute (ppm) or greater
The verbiage allows submissions to include speeds as low as 1 page per minute, which
wouldn’t satisfy the department’s workflow requirements
Requesting amendment to read: Minimum 40 pages per minute (ppm) or greater
Response: See Amendment #4.
2. Under SPECIFICATIONS Automatic Document Feeder:
o Currently reads up to 320-sheet capacity
Similar to the Print Speed spec, the verbiage allows submissions to include document
feeder capacity as low as 1 page, which wouldn’t satisfy the department’s workflow
requirements.
Requesting amendment to read: Minimum 320-sheet capacity
Response: See Amendment #4.
3. With the amendments requested, we are requesting a 1-week extension for the Bid Submission and
Opening deadline to give all bidders time to adjust their submission.
o Currently: Monday, August 10, 2026
o Requesting: Monday, August 17, 2026
Response: See Amendment #4.
