Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the refresh and 5-year extended warranty of ten (10) training simulators (eight Mobile Marksmanship Training Simulators (MMTS) and two Warrior Skills Trainers (WST)). This procurement, valued at an estimated $2.3 million, is for a firm-fixed-price contract with Laser Shot, Inc., identified as the sole responsible source. This document is a justification, not a solicitation for proposals.
Purpose & Scope
The requirement is to refresh the ten existing live-fire simulators, which includes the installation of new projectors and computers, repair of existing hardware, and associated labor. Additionally, a 5-year extended warranty is required to cover the repair and replacement of any defective products in material or workmanship by the vendor. The simulators are located at Fort Bragg, NC.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-fixed-price
- Estimated Value: $2.3 million
- Period of Performance: Estimated delivery no later than December 1, 2025, through February 17, 2026.
- Funding Source: Fiscal year 2025-2026 Operations & Maintenance Funds.
- Contractor: Laser Shot, Inc.
Justification Basis
The procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." Laser Shot, Inc. is the original manufacturer and holds proprietary rights, copyrights, and technology for the simulators, making them the sole entity capable of providing the necessary repairs, upgrades, and warranty. Market research, including a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov, did not identify other qualified vendors. Failure to approve this justification risks losing critical training capability, as half of the simulators are already non-operational.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This procurement is being conducted on an "other than full and open competition" basis due to the sole-source determination. Laser Shot, Inc. is registered as a Small Business.
Response Information
This document is a justification for sole-source procurement and does not contain proposal submission instructions or evaluation criteria for bidders. Certified cost or pricing data will be required from Laser Shot, Inc. for the Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination.
