    Description

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking to procure a sole source 8'x8' portable security guard booth from Rizon Manufacturing, INC. for the Hopson Road Gate Entrance at the Research Triangle Park campus in North Carolina.

This steel booth will feature climate control and 360-degree visibility, tailored to meet specific site constraints, with an estimated cost of $40,000. Interested parties can contact Paige Long at long.paige@epa.gov or (513) 569-7379 for further information.

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a sole source justification for procuring an 8'x8' portable security guard booth from Rizon Manufacturing, INC. for the Hopson Road Gate Entrance at Research Triangle Park. The existing booth is beyond repair, compromising employee safety and security by funneling all traffic through a single, inadequate entry point. The new steel booth, estimated at $40,000, features climate control, 360-degree visibility, and specific dimensions to fit site constraints. Market research, including an RFI and a notice of intent to sole source, indicated Rizon Manufacturing, INC. was the only vendor capable of meeting EPA's precise specifications and customization requirements at a fair and reasonable price. Other vendors either failed to meet technical requirements or offered significantly higher prices. The EPA concluded that no other source could satisfy their needs, and no actions can currently remove barriers to competition for this specific requirement.
