The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support has initiated a justification for soliciting a sole-source acquisition for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) from Scott Technologies, Inc., as the only provider meeting specific requirements. The statutory authority for this sole-source request stems from the need for a unique product that serves critical operational functions in environments where air quality cannot be safely ensured through other means. The agency will publish a synopsis of this acquisition on the SAM.gov website, inviting any potential alternate offers, which will be evaluated for compliance with specifications. A Sources Sought Notice was previously issued to assess interest in this requirement, while market research will continue to promote competition in future acquisitions. The contracting officer certifies the accuracy of the justification, ensuring all requirements align with government needs. This action illustrates DLA's commitment to securing necessary supplies efficiently while adhering to federal procurement regulations.
