About this file

The document is a Sole Source Justification for a bilateral modification to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Purchase Order (PO 70B03C25P00000051). The modification involves adding two additional Sea Doo GTI 170 SE Personal Watercraft (PWC) to an existing order for the CBP Buffalo Sector, increasing the total number of PWCs from 4 to 6. The proposed modification is valued at $28,090, which will bring the total PO price to $86,270.

The justification highlights that the price of $14,045 per PWC is fair and reasonable, as it is actually lower than the original PO price of $14,545 per PWC. The modification is being processed as a supplemental agreement within the original scope, in accordance with FAR guidelines. The document is signed by Michael Samol as the Technical Representative and Robert Kay as the Contracting Officer, with a planned implementation date of 5/30/2025.
