This is an "Other Than Full and Open Justification" form (SSGR 4330.51D, Attachment 3) for a simplified acquisition under $250,000 that documents the rationale for single-source procurement.

The acquisition seeks eighty-four (84) 3M Scott Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) bottles requiring periodic five-year hydrostatic testing. The service is to be performed at a Naval Repair Facility for firefighting aboard Naval vessels, with service requested between July 1 and August 28, 2026. The vendor to be solicited is OEM - 3M Scott, 3M Military and Federal Agency, with Fire Tech & Safety (located at 100 Business Park Drive #6, Tyngsborough, MA, 01879) identified as an authorized reseller. The justification for single-source procurement is based on two checked rationales: Brand Name necessity (the Scott SCBA bottles are government-owned and must be tested by a Scott-certified vendor due to compatibility with existing equipment) and OEM Exclusive Licensing Agreement (the service is available only through authorized 3M Scott dealers). The document includes signatures from the customer (dated 6/4/26), Contracting Officer (dated 6/18/26), and one level above Contracting Officer (DARLING.STEVEN.C, dated 6/22/26), confirming compliance with other-than-full-and-open-competition requirements.
