Intended Single Source: Point One USA, LLC

Estimated Dollar Amount: $78,829.28

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Due to the expertise the EOD team posesses, entry level training classes on standard scenarios will not further develop their skillset. The Division requires an advanced level course for the

Explosive Ordinance Disposal team as the team is comprised of experienced members who serve the entire State of Florida and provide aide to multiple agencies. After researching available options through other agencies and training providors, Special Events in Extremis C-IED has been determined to be the only course available at a high enough skill level to suit the Division’s needs. This training will provide lessons in both a lab setting and practical exercises. Point One

USA, LLC is the only provider of the Special Events in Extremis C-IED course.
