About this file

This document is a Sole Source Justification for the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Intelligence Division's Strategic Collaboration Group to procure 10 licenses for 4DV domain awareness training software. The sole source justification is based on the fact that 4DV is a custom offering that is not available through resellers and can only be purchased directly from 4DV Analytics. The anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable based on a comparison with previous purchases. The procurement is designed to add capability to an existing targeting system in use by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The government intends to award a firm fixed price sole source order to Business & Engineering Sys Inc DBA 4DV Analytics. Interested vendors may submit capability information by August 27, 2024, but this is not a request for competitive proposals.

Market research was not an option as the product required for procurement is the only product that provides vehicle mounted and rugged man-portable devices that feed into a common operating picture while still able to integrate into current systems. Other products that are manufactured at the proposed price-point are unsuitable for consideration, as they do not provide as robust integration.
