Single source JA RAM Target Vehicles _Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract for Ram Target Vehicles. The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) Driver and Marine Division (DMD) seeks to purchase approximately 4-6 specialized training vehicles from Skookum Contract Services for advanced driver training purposes. The vehicles are uniquely designed to withstand 3,000-5,000 strikes and require specific weight and balancing to simulate reality-based training scenarios.

The sole source justification is based on Skookum being the only supplier capable of manufacturing this specialized training platform that fully meets the DMD's requirements. The contract will be a firm-fixed price and utilize Fiscal Year 2025 funding. The procurement is not competitively bid due to the vendor's unique capabilities, with market research confirming that these specific vehicle training platforms can only be provided by Skookum Contract Services, who have previously supplied similar vehicles to the United States Department of State.
