2. Estimated Total Value of Contract: $57,046.00

3. Subject of Contract: This sole source justification applies to the purchase of parts required to upgrade existing Patriot

Products bullet traps at the Camp Rilea Training Center Shoot House to be suitable for use with 5.56mm EPR ammunition. The parts include but are not limited to BT3048-MG Upgrade kit for EPR ammunition, replacement impact plate with ballistic mass, upgrade support quadrants, and upgrade frag collection tray, replacement impact plate with upgrade ballistic mass, upgrade quadrant supports, upgrade fragment collection tray.

4. Background:

The Shoot house at Camp Rilea Training Center has 22 older model Patriot Product LLC bullet traps that are currently rated for the legacy 5.56 mm ammunition. The current standard Army issue ammunition is the 5.56 mm EPR. Patriot Products

LLC has developed an Upgrade Kit which will convert their older model bullet traps into traps that meet AR 385-63 safety requirements for the 5.56 mm EPR ammunition.

Patriot Products LLC maintains proprietary rights to their products and the components are not interchangeable with other manufacturers’ equipment and are the only supplier of parts required to upgrade the existing bullet traps to be suitable for the new ammunition. . Patriot Products has no authorized distributors for parts or equipment.

The Oregon Military Department (OMD) intends to issue Purchase Orders to Patriot Products for parts, components, and repair services necessary to upgrade the bullet traps. Purchases will include but not be limited, parts, pieces, components, and upgrades to meet current Army operational standards.

5. Findings: Findings of Fact

A. Pursuant to OAR 125-247-0275(2)(a): Compatibility. Provide findings supporting your determination that the efficient utilization of existing goods requires the acquisition of compatible goods or services from only one source.

Patriot Products parts and components are the only commercially available products that will successfully upgrade existing bullet traps. Patriot Products is the only source for parts, pieces, components required to upgrade the existing bullet traps and holds all proprietary rights to said items.

Patriot Products will not guarantee any components which they have not provided, will not guarantee existing equipment will function properly utilizing other manufacturers provided parts or components. nor will Patriot Products be liable for any damages to existing equipment outfitted with other manufacturers’ parts or components.

Utilizing and upgrading the existing Patriot Products infrastructure results in a significant savings to the Agency and taxpayers.

Agency not being good stewards of taxpayer funds.
