This document is a Justification for Sole Source procurement for simplified acquisitions up to $250,000, specifically for Emergency Breathing Air Compressor (EBAC) and Breathing Air Compressor (BAC) equipment. The procurement involves cleaning and calibrating six (6) EBAC gages and three (3) BAC, with a focus on addressing critical ship operational readiness. The ship is currently zero (0) out of three (3) operational BACs and will be unable to certify Damage Control in ninety (90) days without these components, which could negatively impact the ship's schedule.

The estimated price/cost is redacted, and the document is issued by the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk Contracting Department. The sole source justification indicates that only one operational BAC will be available, and the ship will need to rely on outside activities to assist in filling SCBA bottles in the event of a major casualty. The document emphasizes that these supplies represent the minimum requirements of the government and that no substitutes or alternative sources are available for these specific equipment components.
