About this file
This is a Sole-Source Determination and Justification document from the Oregon Military Department, specifically the AGI-Support Branch, seeking to purchase upgrade parts for Patriot Products bullet traps at the Camp Rilea Training Center Shoot House. The project involves upgrading 22 existing older model bullet traps to be compatible with the current standard Army issue 5.56mm EPR ammunition, requiring a BT3048-MG Upgrade kit, replacement impact plates, upgrade support quadrants, and upgrade fragment collection trays. The total estimated contract value is $57,046.00, with the procurement being justified under Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 125-246-0170(2)(c)(H).
The sole-source justification is based on Patriot Products being the exclusive manufacturer and provider of these specific bullet trap upgrade components, holding all proprietary rights and having no authorized distributors. The company will not guarantee components from other manufacturers and maintains that using their parts is the only way to successfully upgrade the existing infrastructure. The procurement method is intended to be cost-effective, as obtaining competitive bids would require purchasing an entirely new system, which would be more expensive and not considered a responsible use of taxpayer funds. The goods and services are not available through standard state procurement channels like DAS statewide price agreements, inmate labor, surplus, or Oregon Forward Program Contractors.

Agency not being good stewards of taxpayer funds.
