This is a Sole or Limited Sources Justification determination memorandum for federal acquisitions exceeding $3,500 but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The procurement requests ten (10) JJ-CCR rebreathers along with all necessary operational equipment and repair parts required for maintenance over the next year. The justification limits competition to a single manufacturer based on the requirement that the JJ-CCR is the only known rebreather meeting all specifications and requirements. Extreme Exposure is identified as currently the only authorized dealer of the JJ-CCR in the United States. The rationale for the sole source exception centers on compatibility with existing equipment and specific performance criteria. JJ-CCR, a Denmark-based company specializing in manufacturing the JJ-CCR Underwater Breathing Apparatus (UBA), has established Rebreathers USA, LLC as the exclusive importer of the JJ-CCR UBA in the United States. Extreme Exposure is confirmed as the sole importer through which they work to acquire the JJ-CCR UBA, with a proven track record of successful collaboration on previous contracts. The procurement is time-sensitive due to mission or training activity milestones and required approvals, necessitating procurement research to begin prior to formal approvals. The government commits to continuously reviewing the market to adhere to competition principles for future service and material acquisitions. Customer approval levels are specified by organizational hierarchy, with the Contracting Officer responsible for final authorization.
