The file details a Single Source Justification for a simplified acquisition by the federal government. It pertains to a project named Modular Barrier System, estimated at a contract cost of around $3 million. Due to stringent anti-vehicle barrier requirements outlined in DoDI O-2000.16/V1-DAFI 31-145-0 and UFC 4-022-02, only a single barrier, the Mifram Security Modular Vehicle Barriers - MVB3X, meets the necessary standards for deployment by a single person, possesses the required crash rating, and offers simultaneous multi-location deployment. This barrier's unique features, including its portability and gate-like functionality, make it the most suitable option. The contracting officer has justified the lack of competition due to the specialized nature of the requirement, and future purchases will prioritize selecting the most appropriate barrier from the approved list.
The Department of Defense (DoD) issued the Anti-Ram Vehicle Barriers List in September 2022 to strengthen physical security across installations by establishing a structured approach to evaluating vehicle security barriers. It emphasizes a layered defense strategy that integrates both active and passive barriers to protect against intrusions. The document outlines specific testing standards for vehicle barriers, such as ASTM F2656 and DOS SD-STD-02.01, which guide the assessment and approval processes for barrier designs.
Barriers are categorized based on type, including active bollards, drop-arm gates, and passive barriers, each with prescribed penetration ratings. Products not meeting the criteria set by recognized testing standards will not be included in the list, with detailed documentation required to avoid rejections. Additionally, the list is subject to quarterly updates, and end-users are warned of potential vulnerabilities in barrier designs. The document serves not only as a compliance tool for manufacturers but also as a guide for installation authorities to select appropriate barriers that align with operational security needs. Overall, the DoD aims to enhance site protections through well-defined standards and validated products that address the evolving security environment.
