The document presents a justification for seeking contracts on an other than full and open competition basis for the procurement of various Mine Safety Appliances Company (MSA) respirator accessories by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support. The justification cites the need to procure specific respirator items due to their vital role in meeting DLA's operational requirements, which cannot be satisfied by any other suppliers or services. The contract type is categorized as Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), with an estimated maximum value of $7.4 million over one year, with four potential option periods.
Market research conducted indicates interest from suppliers for a long-term contract and confirms that the required items are commercially available. The action will be announced on SAM.gov to promote wider awareness and competition among suppliers, although it is anticipated that procurement will largely remain sole sourced due to the specialized nature of the items. The justification is signed and approved by various officials, verifying accuracy and completeness in asserting that the selected course of action meets the government's needs effectively. This document exemplifies the procedural rigor in federal acquisition, ensuring compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.
