About this file
This is a sole source procurement letter from Advanced Security Technologies LLC (AST) addressed to the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, confirming AST as the exclusive supplier of the MVB3X Modular Vehicle Barrier System. The Town of Palm Beach intends to award a Purchase Order to AST for the MVB3X system and related components, including specialized transport trailers, modular vehicle barriers, pivot systems, custom signage, lighting packages, and slide wheels. The solicitation is open to questions through the EUNA platform with a designated procurement representative, Duke Basha, managing all communications. The Town reserves the right to award the entire project or portions thereof and to accept or reject bids based on the solicitation terms.
AST establishes its sole source status by documenting unique technical capabilities and certifications that distinguish the MVB3X system from all competing products. The system is ASTM-certified to stop a 16,500-pound vehicle while weighing only 53 pounds per individual barrier unit and can be repositioned by a single operator in less than ten seconds to permit emergency vehicle access. Additional distinctions include U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, ASTM F2656-15, PAS 68, and IWA certifications, tool-free assembly, single-person operation, and an open-structure design that prevents tactical cover for active shooters. AST has supplied MVB systems to more than 100 government agencies since 2017 and exclusively operates a rental program for MVB3X barriers, providing unmatched technical expertise and operational knowledge that no other entity can replicate.

Sole Source Status
Dear Captain Watson, This letter confirms that Advanced Security Technologies LLC (AST) is the sole source supplier of the MVB3X Mobile Vehicle Barrier System. The MVB3X system package includes specialized transport trailers, modular vehicle barriers, pivot systems, and support accessories such as custom signage, lighting packages, slide wheels, and related components. No other company or entity provides the complete MVB3X system or its integrated components.
As your organization is aware, the MVB3X system incorporates unique capabilities that are not available in any other vehicle barrier solution. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The MVB3X is the only barrier system ASTM-certified to stop a 16,500 lb vehicle while each individual barrier unit weighs only 53 lbs.
2. It is the only ASTM-certified system capable of stopping a 16,500 lb vehicle while allowing a fully assembled traffic lane of barriers to be repositioned by a single city official to permit emergency vehicle access in less than 10 seconds. The system easily converts into an operational gate.
3. It is the only ASTM-certified barrier system capable of stopping a 16,500 lb vehicle while allowing up to ten lanes of barriers to be stored and transported on a single trailer.
4. The MVB3X barrier section features an open-structure design, with no solid metal or ballistic-resistant component wider than 12 inches, thereby avoiding the creation of cover or concealment for active shooters. No other barrier system provides comparable stopping power.
In addition, the MVB3X system offers the following exceptional features and capabilities:
1. U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation
2. Certification to ASTM F2656-15, PAS 68, and IWA standards
3. Tool-free assembly
4. Fully modular design adaptable to any coverage width
5. Single-person assembly, operation, and dismantling
6. Capability to be deployed from the roadway to the sidewalk as one continuous section
7. Unobstructed visibility across the barrier, with no individual component exceeding four square ft
8. Deployment in increments of two feet or less to accommodate roadways of any size
9. Foldable individual barrier units for ease of transport and storage http://www.vehicle-barriers.com/ www.vehicle-barriers.com 2
AST holds proprietary knowledge gained from supplying MVB systems to more than 100 government agencies across the United States since 2017. Each deployment presents unique operational requirements that must be carefully evaluated. As a result, AST possesses unmatched experience and technical expertise related to the design, deployment, and support of the MVB3X system.
Additionally, AST offers a rental program, where MVB3X barriers can be rented to meet specific needs.
There is no other entity that supports MVB3X barrier rentals in the United States.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.
