This is a J&A (Justification and Approval) form for use of other than full and open competition under an unusual and compelling urgency exception.

The contracting activity involves SERMC and NAVSUP FLC conducting acquisitions under Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) authority. The procurement request/solicitation number is 1301384203 with no established control number. The requirement pertains to providing functional testing and maintenance services for Navy Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and Search and Rescue (SAR) SCBAs, as well as ten-year service life overhaul services for POSCHEK 3 serial L0708 machines manufactured by Honeywell Analytics. These services include technician-conducted diagnostics, Main Board Assembly replacement, calibration of machinery, and operational testing. The estimated dollar value is 0.00 across all categories (FY/Option/Ordering Period, OM&N, OPN, and RDT&E).

The justification for limiting competition cites unusual and compelling urgency under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2) as implemented by FAR 6.302-2. Honeywell Analytics is identified as the only responsible source due to proprietary calibration procedures for PosiChek test instruments that are maintained in accordance with NIST standards. The requirement was identified on 06/16/2026 with required delivery/performance period from 07/20/2026 to 07/19/2027. The document indicates critical operational readiness impacts, including current SCBA pack deficiencies and the need to maintain functional testing capabilities for multiple Navy vessels. All required certifications (Technical, Contracting Officer, Level Above Certification, Legal Sufficiency Review, and Competition Advocate Review) and Head of Contracting Activity approval sections are included but remain unsigned.
