ENCLOSURES: for the Bomb Squad
The police department is requesting a sole source finding for the purchase of a Talon Gen IV Analog
Conversion Kit, that will be used to upgrade the existing Talon Robotic Platform for the Miami Police
Department's Bomb Squad from QinetiQ North America, Technology Solutions Group, located at 350
Second Avenue, Waltham, MA 02451, in the amount not to exceed $91,608.00, allocating funds from the
UASI Fund. Based upon the attached, please take the necessary steps to verify that QinetiQ North
America, Technology Solutions Group, located at 350 Second Avenue, Waltham, MA 02451, is the sole
provider of this item.
The existing robotic platform that was donated by a federal entity is about six (6) years old and is in
desperate need of repair and upgrade, as a result of normal wear and tear and technological
advancements. This conversion will bring the robotic platform to modern operating standards and assist
the Bomb Squad in performing its mission more effectively. The upgrades include new and more
efficient batteries, upgraded communication set, upgraded firing set and upgraded gears and motors.
QinetiQ North America affirms that it is and has been the sole provider for the sale and service of this
equipment, to include parts acquisition and upgrades.
It is imperative that the police department do this upgrade in order to have the equipment in functional
capacity for any unforeseen events to improve public safety.
Attached please find the sole source justification for this purchase, as requested by the Purchasing
Department. Upon completion of your findings, please forward a copy of the Resolution and the Agenda
