Purchase of SCBA 30-year cylinders

This solicitation from the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command seeks the purchase of 30-year life cylinders for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The cylinders must be manufacturer 3M Scott Safety's Part Number 804723-31. Proposals are due no later than February 8, 2024. The agency will evaluate offers based on the vendor's ability to meet the requirement of providing the specified cylinders to support SCBA use.

While no set-aside is specified in the notice, the requirement is designated as a 100 percent total small business set-aside. The NAICS code covers compressed gas cylinder distribution, and the likely PSC code involves breathing apparatus. As the incumbent, 3M Scott Safety is the current contractor for these cylinders. The solicitation did not include an estimated dollar value or quantity required, but performance will occur at locations supported by the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command.
