About this file

This document is a Justification for Sole Source acquisition for fire-rated gym matting. The Navy intends to purchase fire-rated gym matting for the USS George H.W. Bush, with a required delivery date of May 30. The procurement is for a specialized, non-flammable, nonporous deck matting that meets MIL-STD-1623 fire performance requirements for electrical grade mats. The sole source justification is based on three key factors: compatibility with existing systems, proprietary data limitations, and being a direct replacement for currently used mats. The original manufacturer is the only vendor capable of meeting the government's specific needs, with no authorized resellers available. The procurement is classified as a simplified acquisition with a total estimated cost that has been redacted, and the NAICS code is 326299 with a PSC code of 7220.
