Justification for Sole Source

This document justifies a sole-source procurement for "Small, Medium and Large A01-ABRASI-BLAST Sandblast Respirators" from MSA Safety. The justification is based on the need for a specific NIOSH-approved "Type CE" respirator that is compatible with existing systems and meets minimum government requirements.

• The procurement is for MSA Abrasi-Blast respirators, which are described as the only NIOSH-approved Type CE respirators featuring a tight-fitting elastomeric facepiece and flexible protective hood.

• This design allows for access to tight, confined spaces, which is critical for abrasive blasting operations.

• The respirators must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems.

• The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed.

• The justification is for a sole-source buy, indicating that competition is restricted to MSA Safety.

• The estimated cost and required delivery date are referenced but not detailed in this document.

• Not applicable, as this is a justification for a sole-source purchase, not a solicitation for proposals.

• This is a sole-source justification, meaning full and open competition is precluded.

• The document references "PSNS & IMF" and "C106.22" in relation to the approved respiratory protection program and specific model approval.

• The contracting officer's signature and date (10/16/2025) are provided.
