About this file
This is a Single Source Justification (Under SAT) form completed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a purchase below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
The acquisition involves Trijicon RMR HD red dot pistol optics for use with newly issued Glock 19 MOS Gen 5 pistols with Streamlight TLR-7X weapon lights. These pistols will be authorized under USFWS OLE Chief's Directive CD-B. Trijicon is identified as the sole manufacturer of the Trijicon RMR HD red dot optic, which is currently utilized by the Refuge Law Enforcement division and adopted by other federal law enforcement agencies due to its performance and dependability. Market research was conducted through multiple vendors and GSA Advantage, revealing that the lowest quoted price was approximately 17% lower than other vendors when including GSA Advantage pricing, though the quantity of 225 units availability from alternative sources could not be confirmed. The justification cites exclusive manufacturing rights as the basis for sole source procurement. The fair and reasonable cost determination is supported by 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), which authorizes use of other than full and open competition when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services satisfy agency requirements. The Program/Project Officer (Michael Clark) recommended the sole source acquisition on May 4, 2026, and the Contracting Officer (John Skogen) approved it on June 10, 2026.
