Attachment 3 - Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification form for a simplified acquisition by the 27 SOSS/CTE contracting activity. The procurement is for 1EA Mahindra ROXOR HD Vehicles, with a total estimated contract cost of $73,485.00. The request is for basic models and 2EA Mahindra ROXOR HD All Weather model off-road vehicles, classified as equipment after coordination with the 27 SOSS/CTE. The purpose is to replace obsolete equipment in the training environment by acquiring vehicles that closely resemble enemy military vehicles.

The justification highlights that these specific vehicles are unique, with no substitute equipment providing similar functionality and visual characteristics of enemy/foreign military vehicles. The 27 SOSS/CTE conducted extensive research and identified two candidates (Mahindra ROXOR and Polaris Ranger), ultimately selecting the ROXOR HD All Weather variant. The contracting officer, Michael W. Boyd, has determined that circumstances warrant a single source procurement, with a commitment to perform robust research for potential alternatives in future acquisitions. The document is dated 9 September 2025 and will ensure commonality of parts and maintenance across the fleet.
