Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C246-21-AP-3133

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO 06, Hampton VA Medical Center, 100 Emancipation Dr, Hampton, VA 23667 Purchase Request No. 659-21-3-5051-0247 for W.G Hefner Salisbury VA Medical Center.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The W.G. Hefner VAMC in Salisbury , NC has a requirement to procure an Eyewitness In-Car Video System. This brand is required by Police Service to replace the outdated video system currently in place.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Eyewitness In-Car Video System is used to record police interactions for safety of the police and the public by reducing the rate of use of force. The recordings also enhance accountability, simplifies incident review, and aids in prosecution. Video and audio will automatically download when it is near a file transfer antenna, reducing the margin of error which would come with manual transfer. The Video System is manufactured by Kustom Signals which is currently being used throughout the Police Service. This brand is required to match the replacement equipment with the existing equipment for compatibility and it will not cause an interruption with the vehicle being down. This will assist with the learning curve of learning new equipment. Kustom Signals is the only company that has been found to be able to upgrade the current body mics with the cameras they are procuring.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Research was conducted using VIP, FPDS, NSSL, NAC, GSA, and Internet. A VIP using NAICS 334310 and keywords “car video system” revealed no vendors capable of providing the products that can meet this requirement. The OEM, Kustom Signals, is the sole proprietor of the Eyewitness In-Car Video System and has one (1) authorized distributor, Lakota Contracting, Inc.
