• If yes, please explain:

A sole source procurement is justified when there is only one good or service that can reasonably meet the need and there is only one vendor who can provide the good or service. A requirement for a particular proprietary item (i.e., a brand name specification) does not justify a sole source procurement if there is more than one potential bidder or offeror for that item. Note: If this sole source is for services greater than $100,000, posting on an electronic procurement system may be required in accordance with §24-106-103(5) C.R.S.

designed to enhance the ability to identify, interdict, and investigate the transportation of illegal narcotics and contraband using CMVs. Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) increasingly utilize CMVs to move large quantities of illicit substances across jurisdictions, exploiting the complexity and volume of legitimate freight traffic. This training directly supports proactive interdiction efforts and public safety objectives.

CSP often encounters CMVs; however, effective interdiction requires specialized knowledge beyond standard traffic enforcement training. This course will provide advanced instruction on behavioral indicators, criminal trends, document analysis, vehicle inspection, and interview techniques specific to CMV operations.

No other training company in the US provides hands-on CMV training.

Diamondback CMV Training has developed specialized training modules designed specifically for their privately owned commercial motor vehicles to train law enforcement officers on how to identify and locate trafficking traps, how to identify inconsistencies in a trailer load, and provide resourceful data to educate on what to look for in the drivers logs.
