This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a non-competitive purchase order by the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC) Norfolk. The procurement involves awarding a purchase order on a competitive basis to an authorized distributor of Bauer branded SCBA Compressor Material for the USS EMORY S LAND (AS 39). The estimated dollar value is for fiscal year 2025 and will be funded using Navy working capital funds.

The J&A highlights that the TALT SCBA Compressor is scheduled for the next repair period, and MSC requires these compressors and materials from a BAUER OEM Authorized source to ensure mission completion. The document emphasizes that this is classified as "critical equipment" where equipment failure would significantly impact operational readiness, including key systems like damage control, firefighting capability, and safety management. The procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 320(4)(x1) for a brand name requirement, with no known alternative suppliers. The sources sought process closed on May 7, 2025, with one response from a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) partnered with Bauer Compressors.
