Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

Justification for soliciting from a single source is based on the following product requirements:

1) New capabilities/technology - 3D headset-based virtual reality training is currently an emerging market in regards to police training. The Street Smarts VR (SSVR) system has unique capabilities in that it is the only headset that provides a completely immersive 3D Virtual Reality experience for the user. Other virtual police training systems do not meet the specifications required of this police headset-based training.

2) Mobility - The SSVR is a mobile platform. The mobility and ease of set-up will allow the end users to conduct training to individuals in various locations as required.

3) Customized Product - SSVR Software scenarios have been tailored to local needs and the SFS Career field as a whole.

Scenarios have been built on Air Force Security Forces Tactics and Procedures/checklists as opposed to traditional Law Enforcement Tactics and Procedures. Building layouts (play area), Officer Uniforms, weapons systems/controllers, and instructor command options have all be customized to the end user. No other product is currently available that meets the current listed criteria and required delivery time-lines of <30 day.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The software required to operate the scenarios is proprietary to Street Smarts VR. Additional research was conducted but did not identify other companies who offer customized products that are standardized with the SFS Career Field.

Other VR companies provided the VR technology such as the headsets but do not provide the police training software that is customized to Shaw AFB like SSVR does.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

As VR technology continues to develop, continued market research will be conducted for VR police training with the hope to gain more competition in the future. For future VR requirements we will continue to perform market research in accordance with FAR part 10 to make new determinations if other companies are able to support the requirements.
