    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking to procure Golden Engineering manufactured portable x-ray generators through a sole source contract, valued at approximately $60,660. This decision stems from the proprietary nature of the technology, which is specifically compatible with existing FBI equipment used by the Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG). The justification for this procurement relies on 41 U.S.C. 3304 (a)(1), citing that only one responsible source can meet the agency's requirements due to uniqueness of the product. Efforts to solicit broader competition included issuing a Request for Quotation on sam.gov to allow other sellers to respond, but no expressions of interest were forthcoming, as the procurement was not widely advertised. Informal market research, including consultations with industry experts and law enforcement professionals, confirmed the absence of alternative compatible options. The FBI anticipates fair pricing based on previous purchases and informal quotes received. Despite the limited competition, they plan to continue exploring new equipment options for future acquisitions.
