This document is an "Other Than Full and Open Competition Justification" for procuring specific voice amplification equipment from a sole source vendor. The procurement involves twenty-one (21) Scott Technologies Voice Amplifiers (P/N: 201275-01) and twenty-one (21) Scott Technologies Brackets AV/30000 (P/N: 200715-01) to be purchased from Arbill Industries INC. in Philadelphia, PA. The Naval Submarine Support Facility has determined that these specific 3M Scott Fire and Safety branded items are essential to their requirements, with the justification noting that continuity is needed for Epic Voice Amplifiers and associated brackets, and that the Planned Maintenance System (PMS) already covers these voice amplifier and bracket types. The selected vendor must be an authorized 3M Scott Fire and Safety Distributor, and this justification follows Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines for purchases under the simplified acquisition threshold, allowing a single source solicitation when only one source can meet the agency's needs.
