Procure Airplane Seats for FLETC Charleston

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC), Procurement Division, intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to Crown Gym Mats, Inc. on a sole-source basis. This justification for other than full and open competition is for the procurement of 65 airplane seats (13 triple and 13 double) for simulated based training at FLETC Charleston. The statutory authority for this action is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR Subpart 6.302-1, which permits sole-source acquisitions when no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Market research determined that Crown Gym Mats, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of Notta Line law enforcement training products, which are specifically designed to withstand non-lethal ammunition and are fire retardant, making them essential for FLETC's training mission. The contracting officer will ensure the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on commercial vendor pricing.
