About this file
This document is a sole source justification for the procurement of a Firelite Transport Deluxe UTV unit from Darley Firelite. The Boise National Forest, Cascade Ranger District requires the unit to assist with fire suppression and EMS calls, at a cost of approximately $9,065 to be delivered by October 31, 2023. Market research found Darley to be the sole provider that can build and deliver the specified Firelite system with a 50 gallon water tank at 81 PSI, electric rewind Hannay reel, and Mercedes draftlite kit. While other vendors offer similar products, Darley is the only one that can provide all required accessories in an integrated system. Procuring from Darley will save time and money over purchasing each item separately. The contracting officer determined that only Darley is available as a source for the required services in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).

SOLE SOURCE or BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION (FAR 13 Under the SAT)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES/SERVICES REQUIRED
Boise National Forest, Cascade Ranger District is procuring one Firelite Transport Deluxe FDH203 UTV Unit to assist with fire suppression and EMS calls. Cost is approximately $9,065.00 with an estimated delivery time 10/31/2023.
2. JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLICITING FROM A SINGLE SOURCE or FOR A BRAND NAME
Internet and phone searches determined that Darley Firelite Transport Deluxe was the sole source provider which could build and deliver our requested Firelite System. Specific specs include 50 Gal @81 PSI Tank, electric rewind Hannay Reel, and a Mercedes Draftlite Kit.
3. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION
Market research concluded that Darley is the sole retailer that could provide the Firelite Transport system, which comes fully equip with all accessories needed. Other vendors can provide a similar product but without all the other hose reel and draftlit kit attachments. Each attachment costs more money. Working with Darley Sales will save the Government time and money.
4. STEPS TO PRECLUDE FUTURE SINGLE SOURCE (or BRAND NAME) AWARDS
This Firelite Transport is designed to last for multiple years and would benefit the Government in many ways (district fire suppression, and EMS call) throughout the life span. Regular maintenance will be conducted and documented to ensure safe operation and ensure an extend life span.
5. CONTRACTING OFFICER’S DETERMINATION
I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is available for the required services.
