About this file
This is a Determination that Only One Source is Reasonably Available (Brand Name Justification) document from the United States Marine Corps for the acquisition of two Honda Rebel 300 fuel-injected motorcycles. The Traffic Safety Division at Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ) is requesting these motorcycles to support the United States Marine Corps mandated Basic Rider Training courses at Camp Upshur, which are essential for compliance with safety program requirements. The justification for a brand-name acquisition is based on several key factors, including established maintenance infrastructure, existing vendor relationships, standardized maintenance and training procedures, and the critical need to maintain consistency in training equipment to ensure service member safety and readiness. The government intends to issue a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) order with a delivery date of 60 days after award, using FY25 Marine Corps Operations and Maintenance appropriations to fund the procurement.

Determination that Only One Source is Reasonably Available (Including Brand Name) – FAR Part 13 Acquisitions under the SAT
V 1.6 (20 December 2023)
• Reliability and Use: The Honda Rebel series has a proven track record of reliability, ease of use, and suitability for beginner riders. Its low seat height, manageable power delivery, and ergonomic design make it ideal for training environments. These attributes are critical for reducing rider anxiety and improving course completion rates.
Procurement of a different make or model would disrupt the existing maintenance and training ecosystem, increase operational costs, and potentially compromise the safety and readiness of service members participating in the Basic Rider Course. It would also hinder compliance with USMC safety mandates and delay the replacement of aging 2014 Honda Rebel units currently presenting safety and maintenance concerns. Delays in maintenance or training due to unfamiliar equipment can directly impact mission readiness. Ensuring service members are trained on familiar, reliable motorcycles supports the Marine Corps’ operational tempo and readiness goals. For reasons of operational efficiency, safety, and continuity, the acquisition of Honda Rebel 300 motorcycles is essential therefore the brand-name justification is based on established infrastructure, vendor relationships, and mission-critical training requirements.
