SAP Single Source Justification - Brand Name Life Fitness Treadmills_Redacted.pdf

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

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Law Enforcement Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) New York Field Office is conducting a single-source procurement (PR267670A020, tracking number JA-2026-05-1328) for four Life Fitness Integrity + SL Treadmills to be delivered within 30 days of award. The procurement is structured as a firm fixed-price contract with multiple authorized resellers as the contractor type. The requirement is brand-specific to Life Fitness due to highly specialized features, performance reliability, and compatibility with existing equipment at the NYFO. The treadmills will support the physical readiness and performance standards of Federal Air Marshal personnel, directly contributing to mission effectiveness and reducing on-duty injury risk. Market research confirmed that alternative treadmill models cannot provide the required combination of features and safety specifications, nor would they be compatible with existing equipment. The justification identifies brand name procurement as the single-source method, with adequate price competition anticipated through multiple authorized Life Fitness resellers. The contracting officer determined this approach represents best overall value to the TSA. Approvals have been obtained from the Contracting Officer (Kurt D Allen) and Technical Requirements Personnel (Susan M Hesser) as of May 19, 2026. Concurrent and approval requirements depend on the estimated procurement value, which exceeds $15,000 for supplies and requires approval up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
