    Justification Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the FBI's request for a sole source acquisition of custom faux cable pedestal enclosures from DillonWorks Inc., necessitated by unique operational requirements. The FBI's Video Surveillance Unit (VSU) seeks to procure twenty units, identified specifically by their detailed dimensions and characteristics, to enhance capabilities in covert video collection. This requirement falls under 41 U.S.C. 3304 (a)(1), allowing for limited competition due to the specialized nature of the product, which is uniquely available from DillonWorks Inc. The contract is justified by DillonWorks' unique qualifications and the need for RF-transparent materials that standard products cannot provide. The J&A emphasizes ongoing market research efforts to identify potential vendors but notes the absence of alternatives that meet VSU's precise needs. The document underlines national security concerns and the implications of full competition on operational security, explaining why no public solicitation was performed. Finally, it includes plans to promote vendor engagement in the future to mitigate competition barriers for subsequent acquisitions, aiming to diversify the sources for similar needs across the FBI.
