    24QB131- BNJ Line Thrower Rev1 CO 12sep24_Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a Single Source Justification for the procurement of six pneumatic line throwers and three training projectiles for the 45 Security Forces Squadron (SFS) to enhance their Marine Patrol Unit's rescue capabilities. These devices are required to work without pyrotechnics for safety and cost-effectiveness. The report highlights that CMC Rescue is the only supplier capable of providing a line thrower that meets specific requirements, such as deployment distances of up to 400 feet and training compatibility. Although Safeware INC and other small vendors exist, their products do not satisfy the mission's unique specifications. The document stresses the necessity of this equipment for life-saving operations and outlines plans for ongoing market research to explore future competition. The Contracting Officer asserts that, per federal regulation FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), the situation warrants sourcing from a single source due to the lack of available alternatives. Continuous evaluation is recommended to potentially expand procurement options in the future.
