About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification document submitted by Mount Rushmore National Memorial, a unit of the United States Department of the Interior, to authorize a non-competitive procurement from Onscene Dynamics for law enforcement vehicle equipment and maintenance services.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial acquired a 2026 Chevy Silverado Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) from GSA and seeks to contract with Onscene Dynamics for customization, equipment installation, and ongoing maintenance. Onscene Dynamics has provided maintenance and support for law enforcement vehicle equipment at the park for several years and is located within 20 minutes of the facility. The justification cites continuity of service, established familiarity with park-specific needs, and consistency in maintenance practices as primary rationales for sole sourcing. The document identifies barriers to competition including the park's rural location, security-sensitive nature of the work, requirement for on-site support with quick turnaround times, and lack of viable alternative vendors within a 4-5 hour driving radius. Alternative vendors in the immediate area were determined incapable of providing equivalent customer support, in-person services, or NPS equipment integration capabilities, and lack endorsement from local law enforcement agencies. The justification was approved by Program Officer Anthony Cappel (signed February 9, 2026) and Contracting Officer Joseph Kirch (signed March 3, 2026). Chief of Contracting Office concurrence is required but the signature block remains unsigned in the document.

A. Description
United States Department of the Interior Sole Source Justification
Mount Rushmore National Memorial acquired a 2026 Chevy Silverado PPV from GSA to use as a Law Enforcement Vehicle. Due to the security nature of this work, we are looking for a sole source justification to do this work. The company, Onscene Dynamics has been working on MORU LE Vehicles for the past several years, and provide on-sight work, as well as being within 20 minutes of the park.
B. Justification
a. Circumstances
OnScene currently provides maintenance and support for equipment installed on other law enforcement vehicles within the park. Changing vendors for this vehicle would disrupt the continuity of existing services and reduce operational efficiency due to the new vendor’s lack of familiarity with the equipment, park-specific needs, and established standards. OnScene’s ongoing involvement ensures consistency in maintenance practices and minimizes delays of service.
b. Other Capable Sources The other vendor in the area does not provide the same customer support, in-person support, or do exactly what we would ask with the NPS equipment needed to be added.
The company has also not been recommended by local police departments. There are no other viable vendors within 4-5 hours driving distance of the park, and due to the security nature, commuting distance within the park is a must.
c. Barriers to Competition A search was done for viable vendors for a quote, however, due to the rural nature of the park, it was hard to find any that could provide the service we are requesting.
Distance has been a huge barrier, as well as the security nature of the equipment, on-sight support, and need for a quick-turnaround of work.
C. Recommendation and Certification by Program Office
Based on the above justification, I recommend this acquisition to be conducted using sole source acquisition procedures as specified in FAR Part 13. I hereby certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
