4. A demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited.

Custom Border Patrol (CPD) an agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has requested using Quigley Motor Company as a sole source. Quigley Motor Company is the incumbent contractor for this and CBP is familiar with their parts and maintenance. By awarding to Quigley Motor as a sole source, it will prevent CBP to have to retrain staff to make repairs and purchase tools to make said repairs. By changing vendors CBP would incur additional expenses and possible safety issues due to unfamiliarity with the parts and systems.

5 A description of effects made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practical including whether a CBD notice was, or will be, publicized as required by Subpart 5.2 and, if not, which exception under5.202 applies.

Due to the specific 4-wheel drive conversion employed by CBP, and resulting familiarization with Quigley Motor Company 4X4 components, continued standardized utilization in CBP law enforcement fleet vehicles is considered critical to satisfy stated operational, safety and security criteria.

6. A determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
