12--NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE

Other / Unclassified

This document is a Single Source Justification (Under SAT) for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) to procure Trijicon RMR HD Red Dot Pistol Optics. The justification outlines the need for these optics to be utilized with new issued pistols (Glock 19 MOS Gen 5 with Streamlight TLR-7X weapon light) authorized under USFWS, OLE Chief's Directive CD-B.

This document indicates that the USFWS intends to sole-source the procurement of Trijicon RMR HD optics because Trijicon is the sole manufacturer of this specific optic. Market research conducted showed that the lowest quoted price was approximately 17% lower than other vendors, and it was not determined if other vendors could supply the required quantity. The justification also notes that other vendors were not contacted directly due to higher listed prices on GSA Advantage. This information is relevant to potential bidders as it explains the rationale behind a non-competitive acquisition for this specific item, highlighting that Trijicon is the only source for the Trijicon RMR HD optic.
