Description

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Real Estate Management Division (REMD), and Contracting and Procurement solicited and issued a purchase order based on soliciting only one source. The procurement request number is PR267670A091, and the Contracting and Procurement’s tracking number is JA-2026-01-1414. This acquisition was conducted under FAR Part 12.

Contracting & Procurement awarded the following purchase order for the repair of the firing range at the Transportation Security Administration Training Center (TSATC).

(a) Purchase Order No: 70T01026P7670N005 (a) Contractor: Action Target, Inc. (b) Type of Action: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)  (c) Amount: $246,907.99 (d) Period of Performance: Ninety (90) days from date of award. (e) Other Information: Action Target, Inc. is the original manufacturer and installer of the proprietary firing range target control equipment.

Action Target, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and installer of turnkey indoor and outdoor firing range equipment at the Transportation Security Administration Training Center (TSATC) in Egg Harbor Township, NJ, as well as other TSA operated ranges. This equipment is already proprietary and highly specialized and has been customized and modified for FAMS training use. No other commercial sources are authorized to provide the OEM’s system and components, and TSA cannot replace the existing equipment without substantial duplication of costs to include updating existing infrastructure and systems. The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with the existing systems presently installed. Standardization across TSA ranges is for the benefit of training and staff consistency, interoperability, environmental, safety and liability concerns. The use of a different Contractor for this procurement would result in very high risk to TSA as there are no other commercial off the shelf (COTS) replacements for the components needing repair and replacement. Components and other system parts provided under this procurement need to remain interchangeable across all TSA operated ranges to maintain the Government’s ability to interchange parts between ranges during any given training event. In addition, Action Target parts are customized and installed by the OEM for TSA and FAMS program specific needs and mission parameters.

Please see the attached justification for further information.
