JUSTIFICATION FOR LIMITED

COMPETITION/SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION

JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR

ACQUISITIONS UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1), I hereby determine that the 5.56mm Force on Force Training Munitions listed on DJF-17-1200-556FOF -2 are available from only one manufacturer (brand name only), and competition is precluded as there are no substitutes available.

1. This acquisition is restricted to the following manufacturer:

Company: VISTA OUTDOOR

2. The 5.56mm Force on Force Training Munitions are estimated to cost $334,000.00 required to be delivered by 6/30/2017.

The 5.56mm Force on Force Training Munitions are used exclusively by the FBI SWAT program for use in the execution of training exercises.

3. Specific characteristics of the 5.56mm Force on Force Training Munitions that limit the availability to a brand name requirement are due to the fact that the FBI currently operates ATK/Federal and Simunition brand conversion kits for its long guns in Force on Force Training. The 5.56mm Force on Force Training Munitions are being chosen as this product will operate in both Force on Force platforms. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirements, to the exclusion of other sources. This requirement is brand name only and open to competition outlined in the publicized notices.

4. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is ATK/Federal and Simunition brand conversion kits for FBI long guns in Force on Force Training, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system by operating safely and effectively with firearms currently in FBI inventory.

A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition. The proprietary data are described as follows:
