A15 - Limited source document_re-dacted_Redacted.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Documentation form (DEC 2018) for a federal acquisition over $10,000 but not exceeding $250,000.

The procurement is for the MILO Judgmental Weapons Simulation Training System equipment to be used by the Office of Chief Counsel's Use of Force Unit in Quantico. The system provides Use of Force (UOF) training to field offices in accordance with DEA and DOJ policy, enabling DEA law enforcement officers to maintain proficiency in safe and legal use of force through simulated firearm scenarios and tactical operations training. The purchase request number is D-26-CC-0015, with an FSS contract number GS-00F-332CA. The delivery period spans from 07/16/2026 to 07/15/2027. The procurement is not a recurring requirement and does not utilize brand name only specifications.

The justification for sole source procurement centers on the unique capabilities of the MILO system. The government conducted market research including demos from FAAC Incorporated (MILO), ViTTra, and InVeris. The MILO system offers two stationary and four mobile systems with new laser inserts for training weapons, warranties, a second fill station to refill training guns, and additional SIRT guns replacing OC spray devices. The academy instructors do not train on OC spray in judgmental shooting exercises, and no competitors offer equivalent products. ViTTra's "Threat-Fire" patent (U.S. Patent Nos. 8016594 and 8267691) and InVeris's lack of comparable offerings further support the single source determination. The contracting officer certifies only one source is reasonably available and that pricing will be fair and reasonable.
