About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) for a simplified acquisition under FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev 2 for FAR RFO Subpart 12.102(a), issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Health Security (OHS) on May 13, 2026, with PR Number ROHS-26-00031.
DHS/OHS requires a one-time procurement of specialized emergency medical services equipment and supply kits from Vital Group Solutions LLC to support force health protection and operational medicine activities during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Freedom 250 (America's 250th Birthday), and other short-term special events with high-threat environments. The equipment will also support operational medical services to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection during immigration enforcement and removal operations, and the U.S. Secret Service as part of the OHS Protective Medicine Program. The procurement is justified under "only one source reasonably available" based on market research showing that only 48% of the specialized equipment could be sourced through the DHS Medical Supplies BPA, and that GSA Advantage procurement would result in piecemeal delivery and higher costs due to packaging and assembly expenses. DHS/OHS engaged with Components including CBP and ICE and identified an existing contract with Vital Group that has provided similar equipment to ICE Tactical Emergency Medical Services. A SAM.gov sources sought notice was posted on May 8, 2026, but no other capable sources were identified by the response deadline. Price reasonableness was determined using market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison to IGCE. The anticipated purchase order total cost is redacted, and approval signatures are required from the Office of Procurement Operations, Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Vital Group Solutions LLC can provide a comprehensive solution of equipment and supplies, in the configuration necessary, and with the rapid sourcing required by the DHS/OHS for this urgent requirement. DHS/OHS conducted market research which informed this sole source procurement. After development of the equipment and formulary inventory for the mobile kits and clinic-in-a-box, OHS federal personnel compared that inventory with availability through the DHS Medical Supplies BPA. This included engagement with vendors on that BPA. However, the market research showed that only 48% of the specialized equipment could be adequately sourced
