Q: Are you considered a sole-source contractor?
It depends on how your procurement process is structured. UP.FIT is the only Tesla-certified upfitter operating at scale in North America for law enforcement and government fleet applications, which often supports a sole-source justification — but in many cases, Sourcewell #081325 eliminates the need for one in the first place.
Two practical paths, and we will recommend the one that gets you to deployment fastest:
- 1. Sourcewell #081325 (Tesla cooperative purchasing) — a competitively-bid agreement that typically satisfies your public procurement requirements with no separate RFP and no sole-source process.
- 2. Sole-source justification letter — if your jurisdiction requires it, we will prepare the documentation supporting our position as the qualified Tesla upfitter for your project, including our Tesla certification, our deployment history, and the engineering scope of the work.
Tell us how your procurement team typically handles vehicle purchases and we will recommend the path of least resistance.
