AI Contract Overview
The City of Valdosta, Georgia, intends to award a sole-source contract to Lenco Armored Vehicles for the purchase of one Lenco BearCat G3 armored tactical vehicle at a total cost of $433,239, under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unavailability of any other commercially available platform meeting its operational requirements. The vehicle is required to provide superior ballistic protection compliant with NIJ Level IV, STANAG 4569 Level 2, and EN 1063 BR7 standards, and must include proprietary features such as a 4-Wheel Off-Road Upgrade Package, hydraulic front-mounted ram, police cupola with glass and barn doors, and an integrated SCBA system, all of which are uniquely designed and manufactured by Lenco and not replicable by any other vendor. The procurement is justified by the vehicle’s proven reliability, with a mean of 24,906 miles between repairs and 98% operational readiness, its interoperability with regional and national law enforcement agencies already utilizing the BearCat platform, and its certification for air transport on C-5, C-17, and C-130 aircraft. Acceptance will occur upon delivery to the Valdosta Police Division in Georgia, where the vehicle will be used for high-risk tactical operations including hostage rescue, active threat response, and civilian evacuation. The City’s Purchasing Agent, Teresa Davis, serves as the primary point of contact, with no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative identified. The solicitation was posted on June 24, 2026, with responses due by July 8, 2026, and is based on the manufacturer’s exclusive proprietary design, ballistic certifications, compliance with FMVSS and NATO standards, and full manufacturer warranty and maintenance support. No competitive bidding process was conducted, and no standard FAR contract clauses, packaging, preservation, or marking requirements were specified, as the award relies solely on the vehicle’s unique technical capabilities and the absence of alternatives.
