    This memorandum outlines the determination for using a sole source procurement under the FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition threshold by the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort's Provost Marshal Office. The request involves purchasing 50 Axon AB3 body cameras, nine 8-port docking stations, and wall mounts to enhance evidence collection and review capabilities for police officers. The justification for sole sourcing is based on the exclusive availability of the equipment from the manufacturer, Axon, which has proprietary rights and does not permit distribution through resellers. The previous purchase from 2023 included a proprietary online system for video storage that requires integration with the Axon cameras for automated uploads to avoid errors. This acquisition was initially posted as a small business set-aside but confirmed that Axon only authorizes direct sales. The urgency of the procurement is indicated, although specific details on timing and delivery were not disclosed. The certification statements affirm the accuracy and completeness of the justification provided for this acquisition decision.
