CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

____ The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

___X_ The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

EOD forces currently have the DUI CLX450 LoMu Drysuit in service. The existing drysuits are shells and provide minimal thermal protection along with buoyancy control. The drysuits are designed to be used in combination with insulated undergarments as well as head, hand and foot protection. The shell dry suit provides a dry air layer around the covered portions of the body providing a dry warm environment. The requested brand name items are accessories that are compatible with the existing dry suits as required in the Table of Allowance (TOA): DUI

CLX450 LoMu Drysuit.

____ A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition.

__X__ These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing equipment.

These accessories are direct replacement parts for the existing DUI dry suit that is currently supported on the EOD TOA 05093.

___X_ Other information to support a sole source / name brand buy:

US Navy Diving / EOD and SPECWAR community. TOA andNAVSEA 00C do not permit divers to mix and match one suit’s manufacturer with that of another dry suit’s manufacturer.
