About this file
This is a Justification Review Document for a brand-name, sole-source procurement under FAR Part 13 simplified procedures. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District is seeking to acquire a Trimble SX12 scanning total station for conducting high-resolution land surveys, including topographic mapping, precision control network projects, and hydrographic survey support. The contracting officer determined that only one source is reasonably available based on compatibility requirements with existing Trimble equipment and software, extensive personnel training and experience with Trimble systems, and the lengthy IT approval process for new software implementations that would render alternative equipment unusable for months after acquisition.
Market research efforts included searches on GSA (unsuccessful), NAICS Code 334511 searches that yielded only one capable authorized dealer locally (Frontier Precision Inc.), and a sources sought notification posted to SAM.gov on October 27, 2025 for ten days. Three vendors expressed interest: BHPE LLC, ATZ Solution LLC, and Frontier Precision Inc. The justification document was prepared by Contract Specialist Scarlett Millman on November 4, 2025, and approved by Contracting Officer Brandon Lasich. The anticipated cost is redacted in the document. Fair and reasonable pricing will be verified through comparison to an Independent Government Estimate in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(2).

FAR Part 13 Justification and Approval Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items
1. Requiring Activity: U.S Army Corp of Engineers, Portland District, 8010 NW St Helens Rd, Portland Oregon 97210
2. Contracting Activity: U.S. Army Corp of Engineer, Portland District, 333 SW 1st
Ave, Portland, OR 97204
3. Description of Action: Approval is being requested for a brand name contract for Trimble SX12 scanning total station, to conduct high resolution land surveys including topographic mapping and scanning for design, high precision control network projects and hydrographic survey support on USACE projects.
4. Authority Cited: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).Title 41 U.S.C. §1901(e)(2) as implemented in FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), sole source (including brand name) under the authority of the simplified procedures for certain commercial items.
5. Reason for Authority Cited:
Justification: The scanning total station must be compatible with currently owned and utilized licensed equipment and software. Personnel have many years of extensive training and experience utilizing Trimble equipment and software suites.
Acquiring such equipment from another source would require the purchasing and extensive training of new software and hardware. The incompatibility of new equipment with existing Trimble products would be unfeasible. IT approval of new software is a very lengthy evolution making new equipment unusable for months after acquisition.
Impact: The equipment is needed to collect high resolution land survey data on USACE projects. Without this equipment we would not be able to collect the necessary data to meet the requirements of the projects. This new equipment will also improve efficiency of data collection in the field and reduce the number of man hours at each project.
Alternatives: The scanning total station is proprietary to Trimble software and hardware. Purchasing equipment made by another manufacturer would be unfeasible.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Market research was conducted, and a sources sought notification was posted to SAM.gov on 27th of October 2025. Two responses from small businesses were received.
7. Market Research: A search on GSA revealed that this procurement is not available for purchase there.
NAICS Code 334511 and scanning station were used resulting in 3 small businesses. However, two of the businesses did not have active SBA certifications and one was a bakery. This search was unsuccessful. Another search were not capable of this procurement. The contract specialist reached out to Trimble directly as they have the capability on their website to list authorized dealers. The only authorized dealer locally was Frontier Precision Inc.
