About this file
This memorandum approves a sole source award for less lethal munitions required by the Bureau of Prisons' United States Penitentiary in Hazelton. The agency requires less lethal munitions and launchers to maintain security at the facility, as current supplies have dropped below required levels. Market research found limited availability from other sources due to supply chain issues. Security Equipment is able to provide the needed supplies and dispose of outdated launchers, offering a discount on new ones. The total value of the sole source award is $17,361. The contracting officer determined the price to be fair and reasonable based on past contracts and market research.
