This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Construction & Equipment Supply Chain. The solicitation is for a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) manufactured by Scott Technologies, Inc., with National Stock Number 4240-01-610-9970. The part number is 804861-2810, and the procurement is being conducted on a non-competitive basis under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), citing Scott Technologies as the sole source for this proprietary breathing apparatus.

The document indicates that SCBAs are critical for situations where the worksite's air cannot be made safe through filters or purification systems. DLA Troop Support will continue market research and include provisions in future solicitations to encourage alternative offers. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on SAM.gov from December 8 to December 15, 2023. The Contracting Officer certified the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable, with the justification dated and approved in February and March 2025. The acquisition will be synopsized in Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov, and any alternate offers received will be forwarded to the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) for evaluation.
