About this file

This is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for Limited Sources Acquisitions under $350,000, used to justify limiting competition to a single source or brand name.

The memorandum documents a brand name purchase request (12425110) for two Polaris UTVs (utility terrain vehicles) through an authorized Polaris dealership. The equipment is intended to support student and instructor transportation during Engineer Equipment training at the 12N1O training site and to support student and instructor transportation while conducting Combat Engineer tasks during MOS-T training. The purchasing entity is MSG Aaron Wall. The justification for limiting to Polaris brand specifies that while there are no specifications restricting purchase to one vendor, the uniqueness derives from the brand name and model number associated with the specific machine. The memorandum notes that this same device is utilized across the Enterprise and that having the model limits the footprint of drivers on the server, which leads to driver compatibility and reduced downtime. Market research conducted included web searches and emails to suppliers, with findings that no solicitation was pursued to obtain pricing or favoritism from supplied vendors only. The contracting officer Jeremy W. Greenstein approved the justification under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, citing brand name as the authority. The determination was signed on April 24, 2026, and provides no identified actions to remove barriers to competition for future acquisitions.
