JJ-CCR (Closed Circuit Rebreather) Underwater Breathing Apparatus (UBA)

The Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC), a subordinate command of United States Special Operations Command, issued this Special Notice on December 11, 2025, regarding the procurement of JJ-CCR (Closed Circuit Rebreather) Underwater Breathing Apparatus equipment. This notice announces the intent to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order for commercial diving and underwater breathing apparatus services. The acquisition will be conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 for commercial items and simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Subpart 13. The contract is classified under NAICS code 459110 (Sporting Goods Retailers) with a size standard of $26.5 million. While the contract is designated for sole-source award to Extreme Exposure, the notice provides an opportunity for interested parties to submit capability statements.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to formally announce the Naval Special Warfare Command's intent to acquire specialized underwater breathing apparatus while allowing other responsible sources to demonstrate their capabilities before the final award is made. The critical deadline for submission is 10:00 a.m. EST on December 17, 2025, with capability statements to be submitted to emily.lonigro@socom.mil. Although this is a Notice of Intent rather than a competitive solicitation, all responsible sources meeting the criteria are eligible to submit capability statements to be considered alongside the primary intended awardee. No formal solicitation package is currently available, and telephone inquiries will not be accepted. This streamlined acquisition approach leverages simplified procedures for commercial items while maintaining transparency regarding the procurement of critical marine diving equipment for special operations use.
