Forensic Vehicles - SSJ Exceeding SAT RFO Subpart 8.4_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) for a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) order under the Multiple-Award Schedule Program, issued September 11, 2026 (PR Number 20159813).

CBP's Air and Marine Operations (AMO) intends to award a firm fixed price order to Tech Ops Specialty Vehicles, located in Stevensville, Maryland, for three turkey special purpose vehicles configured as mobile digital forensic and technical exploitation laboratories. The order value is estimated at a total amount (redacted) with an approximate six-month delivery period. The vehicles will serve as fully integrated, self-contained mobile technical exploitation platforms designed to support AMO's field-based exploitation programs without reliance on external workspace, power, or network infrastructure. Each vehicle requires design, fabrication, integration, testing, delivery, documentation, and operator training. The vehicles will provide standardized, deployable, climate-controlled, self-powered workspaces capable of supporting multiple operators and mission equipment for both short- and long-term deployments.

The justification for sole source award is based on GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii), which permits sole source procurement when only one source can provide products or services at the required quality level because they are unique or highly specialized. Tech Ops Specialty Vehicles is the only known source capable of delivering the required integrated solution, specifically through its proprietary Tech Track aluminum adapter kit system, which is exclusive to Tech Ops and unavailable from other vendors. Market research, including a GSA Advantage search conducted September 4, 2026, confirmed that no other vendor offers the specific combination of integrated capability required for AMO's mobile digital forensic requirement. The justification was certified by technical personnel on September 14, 2026, and approved by the Contracting Officer on the same date.
