QUESTION: We have reviewed in detail this Solicitation for 53 Portable light Generators, and cannot define the product desired. 1. Each quantity requests a Magnum Light Generator, followed by a suffix: NGL, SON, AJO, TUS, and DGL. A review of Magnums website indicates they have lite generators, but not any with the suffixs shown. 2. The options/accessories listed for all: electric winch, battery disconnect, lens guard, and anti glare visor are items that are used on light towers; not just a generator or light generator. A review of Magnums light towers does not show that they have any with the listed suffixs. 3. A review of Magnums GSA website does not show any specific model that relate to the listed suffixs. ANSWER: I believe they are concerned with the abbreviations after each item. (i.e., SON, TUS, DGL, etc.) These are our BP Station identifiers not part numbers. For example, SON means Sonoita BP Station, DGL means Douglas BP Station and so on. It just indicates how many of each item each station has requested in their part of the bulk purchase. The United States Border Patrol, Nogales, AZ Station requests the award of this sole source order in order to purchase the exact replacement generator/light towers, currently being utilized at the Nogales Station. Magnum generators are on GSA contract schedule to be distributed through Magnum Products LLC and/or their designated distributors. This sole source proprietary procurement enables the US Border Patrol to maintain uniformity and consistency by obtaining exact replacement packages thus allowing for easy, low cost maintenance and installation. The integrated package allows for greater flexibility among assets and manpower. This contract is expected to be filled by a sole source. Justification is based on the unique technical characteristics. Similar equipment would require considerable existing equipment modifications to meet the specific needs required by the Nogales Border Patrol Station.
