MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

Subj: DETERMINATION THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY

AVAILABLE FOR A FAR PART 12 ACQUISITION COMMERICAL PRODUCTS AND

COMMERCIAL SERVICES

I. BACKGROUND:

I. As required by FAR 12.102(a) this memorandum documents the determination that, for this acquisition valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), only one source 1s reasonably available. This memorandum further outlines the basis supporting that determination.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

This procurement is for genuine Ford Motor Company Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts required for the maintenance, repair, and sustainment of the BEA RCA T Armored Security Vehicle. The Lenco BearCat is custom-built on a modified Ford F-550 chassis. The drivetrain, electrical systems, and engine are P.roprietary Ford designs. Non OEM Rarts are not engineered to interface with these specific modified mounting points and software.

Ill. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply) :

A. ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

I. _ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. _ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

3. OTHER REASONS.

B. _x_ BRAND NAME

Item required must be a brand name, product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

The BearCat is a life-safety platform rated for high-risk operations. Per OEM technical manuals, substitution with non-Ford parts can alter the vehicle's center of gravity and weight distribution, potentially compromising the NIJ Level IV armor performance and operator safety. Use of non-brand name parts would void existing Ford and Lenco warranties on the vehicle chassis and critical assemblies.
