SAM.Gov Restricting Competition Only One Available Source Signed, 21 Sep 2026_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Determination for Restricting Competition issued by the Department of the Army's Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Belvoir on 21 August 2026.

The contracting activity seeks to award a sole source, Firm-Fixed-Priced (FFP) purchase order for heavy-duty diagnostic systems, software, and support services, specifically comprehensive all-in-one diagnostic kits with software, repair information, and technical support for Maintenance Diesel Laptops. The NAICS code is 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). The contract is scheduled for award on 29 September 2026 using Fiscal Year 2026 OMA funds. The government has determined that only one source—identified as the OEM of an integrated multi-brand diagnostic ecosystem—is capable of providing the required integrated diagnostic system. Market research conducted from 27 August through 15 September 2026 identified 268 small businesses in DC, MD, and VA certified in various small business categories under NAICS 811210, but none qualified as Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) capable of providing the supply. The AbilityOne Procurement List and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement website searches yielded no suitable alternatives. Pricing was derived from the company's website and compared to an Independent Government Estimate prepared by the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative using average cost unit figures from previous vendor data. System for Award Management (SAM) verification confirmed the contractor's active registration, non-exclusion status, and accurate entity identification information as of 9 December 2026.
