Evaluation
This is a justification for a sole-source award under FAR Part 13, citing "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." While the FBI intends to sole source to TruckVault, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which will be considered by the agency.
Additional Notes
TruckVault, Inc. is identified as the only responsible source due to its unique capabilities, including custom vehicle-specific fabrication, over 25 years of law enforcement-specific design experience, and proprietary fit and finish standards. Market research over the past six years confirmed that alternatives (e.g., DECKED, CargoEase, Tuffy Security Products) lack the necessary custom-fit, security, or law enforcement-specific configurations required for fleet standardization and operational continuity for the Los Angeles FBI SWAT Team.
