7. Justification for sole source (not competing the requirements):

CPSC requires a testing facility that can accommodate both the storage and testing of consumer fireworks. Consumer fireworks (classified as 1.4G) are small fireworks that are sold for use by the general public and are generally weaker in explosive power used in professional displays (classified as 1.3G). The testing facility must have a pad site that can accommodate the storage of two (2ea.) 20’ X 40’ Department of Defense approved explosives magazines (ARMAGs) and a Conex storage container and provide CPSC with exclusive use of this pad site during the lease period. The testing facility must provide CPSC a suitable testing range with a minimum 100’ x 100’ testing area to support the testing and evaluation of regulated consumer fireworks. The test range must be open, flat, and free of overhead obstructions and cleared of any foliage to control any potential fire spread. The test range must be located as far as possible from any residential areas due to the noise generated from testing fireworks. In addition, the testing facility must be located within driving distance from the CPSC National Product Testing and Evaluation Center (NPTEC), located at 5 Research Place, Rockville, MD to ensure testing is complete within one day (8 hours), including travel, and not require an over-night stay.

After an extensive search for potential testing facilities in the Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia area, only one facility is willing to meet the CPSC’s specific requirements. Summit Point Training Facility (SPTF), located at 201 Motorsports Park Circle, Summit Point, WV can meet the requirements needed for the storage and testing of consumer fireworks and is eager to accommodate the CPSC. SPTF will provide a pad site for the two ARMAGs and Conex containers and provide a test range sufficient for testing fireworks. In addition, SPTF is within driving distance from NPTEC, to ensure testing is completed in one day. There is no other known source for all requirements that is within driving range of NPTEC.
