Upgrade Three Firing Ranges

The government file details a proposed contract for procuring and installing three electronic turning target system upgrade packages for a firing range in Charleston, SC. The acquisition is justified as a sole-source procurement under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), citing "Only One Responsible Source" due to the manufacturer holding proprietary rights and their system being the most compatible with the existing range configuration. The manufacturer is identified as a key provider of firing range equipment, having previously equipped the Charleston facility. Efforts to ensure competition were limited, with no other firms expressing interest. The contracting officer will determine if the cost is fair and reasonable by evaluating pricing against commercial vendor rates. Market research involved internet searches for compatible systems, confirming the selected manufacturer's successful use at Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers. A SAM.gov notice will be publicized on May 8, 2026. The agency acknowledges the manufacturer is the sole provider and installer, indicating no immediate plans to overcome barriers to competition for subsequent acquisitions.
