ICE procured the use of a secure law enforcement training facility where Law Enforcement Officers can qualify with firearms and conduct indoor Advanced Firearms Training Exercises (AFTE). Pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented by FAR 13.501(a) and 6.302-1: Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. ICE’s new use of force policy requires officers to train in specialized training spaces including multi-media enabled large class rooms, mat rooms, less-than-lethal integrated scenario based training (ISBT) environments, room clearing/entry tactics buildings/set-ups (a movable wall system that allows for the setup of multiple room types), as well as access to at least 10 firing lanes, with each lane being at least 50 yards in length. The HERO Center is the only range within a 20-mile radius of the St. Paul Field Office located at 1 Federal Drive, Suite 1640, MN 55111 that can accommodate the number of on-demand shooting points, support all required firearms, is willing to relinquish cease fire determinations to ICE, and can satisfy the requirements to conduct indoor Advanced Firearms Training Exercises (AFTE) mandated by policy. Without the use of this range ICE ERO Law Enforcement Officers in St. Paul, MN would be unable to complete training exercises in accordance with the mandated use of force policy.
