JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

for SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS OVER $3,000 ($2,000/$2500 for Construction/Services AND UP

TO $150,000

PR Number 44045999

Date: 6-1-26

1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost.

This procurement is for replacement tactical vests for LAKE Law Enforcement officer. NPS Law Enforcement Policy (RM-9 Ch 29) requires tactical body armor (vests), placards and plates be manufactured by Angel Armor, LLC (WQCBHLBP4LH7). The original quoted price is $ 66,060.01

2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

__X__ Only one responsible source.

Explain:

Angel Armor, LLC is the only approved manufacturer for tactical safety vests, placards and plates at this time. Contracting reached out to the single GSA vendor that carries Angel Armor products on the availability of price list of approved items from NPS. As of this report, only the required tactical vests are available through this vendor. Placards and bullet-proof plates are not available on the vendor’s GSA price list and must be ordered directly through the manufacturer, Angel Armor. This is more administratively burdensome for the Park and Contracting, as it requires two JOTFOCs, two PRs, two RFQs, two evaluations, two awards and two sets of contract administration. It is more efficient and cost effective to sole source directly through the manufacture, Angel Armor.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:

GSA was surveyed and a vendor was contacted for pricing on the required vests, placards and plates. The representative responded with pricing only for vests and informed contracting that placards and plates must be purchased directly through Angel Armor. There is currently no delivery order available for direct ordering through Angel Armor. It is not efficient or cost effective to split LE orders for these required parts and pieces between the manufacturer and a GSA vendor.

4. If this is a determination for sole source, the contracting officer certifies:

a. Only one source is available, or urgent and compelling circumstances exist.

b. The anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable using the price analysis techniques.
