Sole source JA 4x4.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) from the U.S. Department of Justice UNICOR, Federal Prison Industries, Inc. for the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). The document details a contract with Quigley Motor Company to obtain retrofitted 4x4 drive conversion vehicles for CBP field operations. The total estimated contract value is $12,500,000, and CBP has requested Quigley Motor Company as the sole source due to the agency's specific 4-wheel drive conversion requirements and familiarity with their vehicle components.

The vehicle conversion specifications require using General Motors components, including a torsion bar, manual shifter, 4x4 indicator light, protective rocker guards, and retaining OEM systems like brake systems, wheels, tires, steering, traction control, anti-lock brake system, tire pressure monitoring, and electronic stability control. The contract justification emphasizes that changing vendors would incur additional expenses and potential safety issues due to unfamiliarity with the specialized vehicle components. The document includes approvals from various UNICOR executives, including the Supervisory Contracting Officer, General Manager, Acting Procurement Executive, and Chief Financial Officer.
