4X4 UPFIT

Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (UNICOR), under the Department of Justice, has issued a sole source award to Quigley Motor Company for the 4x4 upfit conversion of General Motors vans for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. With an estimated contract value of $12,500,000, this procurement is conducted under FAR 6.302-1, citing Quigley Motor Company as the only responsible source. This determination is based on the contractor's unique qualifications and the agency's need to maintain standardized vehicle components to avoid additional training costs, tooling expenses, and safety risks associated with unfamiliar systems. The scope of work requires the engineering and manufacture of a 4x4 system featuring a torsion bar independent front suspension rated at 4100/4600 lbs, a manual transfer case shifter, a 4x4 indicator light, and fabricated steel rocker guards. To ensure serviceability and safety, the conversion must utilize GM original equipment components wherever possible and retain all OEM systems, including ABS, TPMS, and Electronic Stability Control, without increasing the vehicle's ride height or altering its center of gravity. All work must be performed to U.S. standards and engineered in accordance with SAE specifications.
