2. Nature and Description of Action Being Approved. Describe the action being approved include the name and address of the proposed contractor(s).

ATF has a requirement to purchase one (1) Roshel Armored Vehicle. The particulars are as follows:

Roshel Senator Emergency Response Vehicle – Part # RBB-126

This item is on GSA Schedule and SOD recommends this contracting mechanism for the acquisition. A GSA quote is attached to this procurement package.

Proposed Contractor

Roshel, LLC 8 The Green, Suite 12453 Dover, DE 19901 302-423-9005

UEI: SYHEG33KADN7

3. Description of Supplies and Services. Describe the supplies/services to be acquired.

Provide the estimated total value (including options, if any).

This requirement is for the purchase of one (1) Roshel Armored Vehicle. This vehicle will be utilized by our SRT program to enhance our agencies’ ballistic protection, while increasing Agent and public safety. This vehicle is built on a Ford F-550 chassis and has many of the same features of our current, and older, armored vehicles. Some of the features of this new vehicle include:

- 360-degree electrical rotational enclosed turret

- 8 Gunports, on both the sides and rear

- Off-road capability, including military grade tires and RunFlats.

- Modular armor and windows

- Heated Windshield

- 360-degree camera system with DVR

- Back up camera system with monitor

- Additional HVAC for rear of vehicle

- Intercom Interior to exterior HPV M1 Acoustic Hailer

- Hydraulic Breaching Ram with Receiver, Ram Post, and Front Plate

- Exterior Door Puck Locks

- Two TEB Vaults for Explosives Storage

- Wiring preparation for Starlink and Mesh Radios

This is an urgent need for our SRT program as our current fleet of Armored Vehicles is aged and in need of an update. Several of our current Armored Vehicles date back to 2008. Because of the age and mileage of current vehicles, we frequently must pay freight companies to move them (as opposed to driving) when the commute time is more than a couple of hours. Roshel is the only vendor that can fill this need in 60 days or less, previous contractor stated final delivery will be 18 months.

There are several other armored vehicles on GSA Schedule, including Lenco, Inkas, and Terradyne. The Lenco Armored Vehicle has an estimated 18-month delivery timeframe and will cost substantially more money. We are not aware of any federal law enforcement agencies that utilize Inkas or Terradyne and neither unit has modular armor or windows. Additionally, ATF reviewed DLA for vehicle options. However, the Humvees, Peacekeepers, and MRAPS listed are more suited for military operations and do not conform with our law enforcement operations.

The Period of Performance will be 60 days from date of Award.

4. Identify statutory authority permitting limiting sources. Cite the authority under one of the exceptions listed under RFO Subpart 8.401(a) and (b) in conjunction with GSAM/R 538.7104-3 and 538.7104-4, and if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service. (Check the appropriate box for the authority and bold the statement.)

Using GSA Schedules:

RFO 8.4, GSAM/R 538.7104-3 Sole source justifications;

The need is of such unusual urgency that following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling that need;

Only one source is capable of providing the products, services, or solution required at the level of quality required because the products, services, or solutions are unique or highly specialized;

The order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an FSS order already issued on a competitive basis;

It is necessary to place the order with a particular FSS contractor to satisfy a minimum guarantee established in the FSS BPA and to ensure exact match Brand Name; or

A law expressly authorizes or requires that the purchase be made from a specified source.

RFO 8.4, GSAM/R 538.7104-4 Items peculiar to one manufacturer.

Requirement. Items peculiar to one manufacturer must not be acquired unless—

(1) The particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the ordering activity’s requirements, and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the need;

Market Research conducted by Special Operation Division (SOD) SME’s showed that this Armored Vehicle is being procured to save valuable time in receiving the final delivery, to be tested and evaluated to determine if the future of all Armored Vehicles will now be procured with Roshel, LLC. Several other agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, Department of State and the FBI are currently utilizing Roshel Armored Vehicles. This purchase will be in line with their use and will also be a substantial cost savings from other Armored Vehicles on the market.

and
