SAP Single Source Justification - Bins for ASL X-Rays at LAS_Redacted.pdf

This is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Commercial Item Single Source Justification template for a federal procurement conducted under FAR Part 12.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is issuing a firm fixed-price purchase order to Vanderlande Industries Inc. for 1,000 security bins compatible with Vanderlande Automated Screening Lane (ASL) x-ray machines. The procurement request number is PR265903F008, with tracking number JA-'2026'-05-1408. The estimated amount is not disclosed in the document, and the period of performance is 60 days from the date of award. The requirement justifies single-source procurement based on the unique and specialized nature of the bins—only Vanderlande manufactures bins containing the proprietary RFID chips embedded in the base that are compatible with the LAS Vanderlande ASL x-ray equipment. Competitive bins trigger error messages in the ASL machine and prevent Transportation Security Officers from properly tracking x-ray images to bins, compromising security operations. Additionally, Vanderlande voids all machine warranties if non-Vanderlande bins are used. A Notice of Intent to sole source was posted on SAM.gov on August 18, 2026, and closed on September 2, 2026, with no responses received. Approval authority for this acquisition rests with the Contracting Officer for procurements up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
