(See FAR 13.106-1)

AP&P 1443.06-01, Rev. 2 February 25, 2022

Sole Source Log Number: 2026-05

1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost): One Polaris 3 passenger UTV and one Polaris 6 Passenger UTV

Description: This is a purchase request for brand name equipment: two new Polaris Ranger 1000 UTVs (one 3-passenger, one 6-passenger). The 3-passenger model is to replace the 2007 Yamaha Rhino in Eagle, which has exceeded its useful and reliable lifecycle. The 6-passenger UTV is to be utilized in support of the Alaska Range Wildland Fire Module (WFM). These new machines will be assigned to remote duty stations, where the conditions of the existing roads and trails are rough or access by other means is limited. These UTVs transport passengers, cargo, and equipment to and from airstrips, around remote camps, project sites, and fire incidents.

2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

_____ Only one responsible source.

______ Urgent and compelling circumstances exist.

___X___ Other (BRAND NAME)

Explain: Other: To optimize maintenance efficiency, operational consistency, and continuity, two Polaris Ranger 1000 UTVs of identical make will be integrated with existing UTVs. This standardization improves servicing and repair processes, minimizes downtime, and simplifies parts procurement. The Polaris Ranger 1000 is specifically selected to meet both logistics requirements in Eagle and operational needs for fire utilization by the Alaska Range Wildland Fire Module (WFM).
