4. Authority: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), only one source reasonably available, urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization.

5. Reasons for Authority Cited: The USASA Camp Roberts police force requires fitted body armor compliant with DOJ ATP 3-39.10 "Police Operations". Fitted armor ensures the highest level of protection for the officer and extends the lifecycle of the armor due to reduced wear and damage. IMCOM, the MACOM responsible for all but 2 Army police forces, has identified the Modular Scalable Vest (MSV Gen II) as the preferred next generation body armor for Department of the Army Civilian Police and Security Guards (DACP/DASG). It needs to be NIJ Certified, NIJ Standard is insufficient. This body armor is available through Point Blank and locally through their authorized distributor, Black Box Safety (BBS). Purchase made through the current State of California contract as a local agency includes on-site fitting by the contractor at $0 cost, ensuring DOJ ATP 3-39.10 compliance. Our Chief of Police and subject matter expert has experience with similar procurements in which off-brand plate carriers were procured, immediately voiding the warranty of the Point-Blank armor plates. To avoid issues with both warranty and inter-operability with previously procured equipment, USASA Camp Roberts is requesting this sole source procurement.

6. Publicizing Contract Actions: For FAR Part 13 actions, the public display and synopsis requirements of FAR 5.101 and FAR 5.203 apply and will be followed.

Sole Source Notification will be posted on SAM.gov.
