2099AB26P00004_Sole Source Justification_signed.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification (SF 1009) for a Firm-Fixed-Price Delivery Order issued by the Department of the Treasury, Office of Public Affairs, through the Treasury Common Services Center.

The requirement is for three professional-grade cameras and ancillary equipment needed to support documentation of the Group of Twenty (G20) Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting scheduled for August 21, 2026. The vendor is District Camera and Imaging, a small business, and the delivery order amount is $21,881.95. The justification cites urgency as the basis for the sole source award, as the equipment was required immediately to meet a strict deadline for a high-visibility, high-security international engagement. Treasury initially requested a quote from Zayas Hendrick Mediaworks (ZHM) off Blanket Purchase Agreement #2032H323A00006 on August 5, 2026, but ZHM could not meet the delivery deadline. After unsuccessful negotiations with ZHM for expedited delivery and consideration of an internal vehicle option, Treasury issued a quote request to District Camera and Imaging on August 19, 2026, and subsequently awarded the delivery order. The justification emphasizes the critical need for professional-grade equipment to capture high-fidelity documentation suitable for long-term archival storage, compliance with federal transparency and security requirements, real-time situational awareness during the event, and risk mitigation against equipment failure during this high-stakes international event.
