About this file
This document is a justification for a sole source acquisition of breathing air system assemblies from 3M. The customer requires 60 3M M-407 helmets with flame resistant shrouds and intrinsically safe polycarbonate visors for use in hazardous areas. Compatibility with the existing breathing air system and avoidance of excessive additional manufacturing and research costs justify restricting competition to 3M as the only source. No market research was conducted but changing suppliers would require stocking different brand parts, increasing maintenance and spare parts costs for the breathing air system. The opportunity is for hoods and tubes under solicitation number W519TC24Q2040 from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command.
