(d/b/a Lenco Armored Vehicles), as designer and <br />manufacturer, is the Sole Source provider of the following products in the United States and <br />internationally: <br /> <br />• Lenco BEAR® <br />• Lenco BearCat® <br />• Lenco BombCat® <br />• Lenco MedCat™ <br />• Lenco FireCat™ <br /> <br />Additionally, these Lenco products, their specifications, manufacturing techniques and marketing <br />materials are proprietary and are protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents-pending, <br />nondisclosure agreements, noncompete agreements and exclusive supply agreements; in whole or in part. <br /> <br />There are no other items or products available that offer identical functionality or performance <br />characteristics, and Lenco determines the prices for the above-named products to be fair and reasonable <br />because of pre-competed federal and state supply schedules controlled by exclusive distribution. <br /> <br />Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1 – “Only one responsible source and no other supplies <br />or services will satisfy agency requirements” is the statutory authority permitting this Sole Source <br />government procurement. <br /> <br />Further, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 2, Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, <br />Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards establishes government-wide <br />requirements for federal grants and cooperative agreements. Under the Uniform Guidance, a <br />non-Federal entity that receives a federal award must “provide a preference for the purchase, <br />acquisition, or use of goods, products, or materials produced in the United States.” See 2 C.F.R. <br />§ 200.322. If the non-Federal entity fails to do so, the federal awarding agency or pass-through <br />entity may sanction a non-compliant recipient of funds. <br /> <br />In summary, Lenco Armored Vehicles, based in the United States, is the only manufacturer or <br />authorized dealer of the Lenco BearCat, its variants or its equivalent.
