A15 Limited Sole Source_Redacted.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Documentation template (December 2018) required for federal limited source acquisitions valued between $10,000 and $250,000. The document serves as a template for agencies to justify single-source procurements when competition cannot be obtained to the maximum extent practicable, in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(b) for open market purchases or FAR 8.405-6 for GSA schedule orders.

The specific procurement documented concerns range use for agent firearms training and qualification. The Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Foundation's facility is identified as the only viable source, as it uniquely operates a six-range facility with a live fire shoot house essential to support Rocky Mountain Field Division training requirements. Market research confirmed that within the Denver Police Department, Aurora Police Department, and other potential training sites, the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Foundation (HRLFTF) and Douglas County Sheriff's office are the only jointly operated options. The Contracting Officer certifies that only one source is reasonably available, the price is fair and reasonable, and an order will not be placed unless these conditions are met. For acquisitions exceeding $25,000 using brand name specifications, documentation must be available with the solicitation in the Governmentwide Point of Entry (FedBizOpps) in accordance with FAR 5.102(a)(6) on GSA e-Buy, FAR 8.405-6(d), or the NASA SEWP V Quote Request Tool.
