B01_Limiting Competition.pdf

This is a Market Research for Final Review (MFR) form documenting the justification for limiting competition under Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois. The requirement is for 8 Spectrum F112-NBN80052BA-BD explosion-proof fixed cameras and 8 F1XX-WM-A wall mounts, structured as a fixed-price, brand name only purchase.

The document justifies sole-sourcing to Spectrum Camera Solutions due to their F112 enclosure being the only one certified to fit the NBN80052BA-BD cameras and maintain hazardous location Class I Div 1/Class 2 Div 1 CE/ATEX certification. The action is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and will be publicized as a brand name restriction over $30K that requires redaction and posting with the solicitation. The market research indicates this is a critical requirement for explosive operations where equipment compatibility and certification are essential for safety and mission success.
