Justification Review Document

This document is a Justification Review Document for a limited competition procurement of the OMNIcheck Complete SCBA Flow Test Bench. The National Guard Bureau is seeking to procure this equipment for the Volk Field Fire Department.

The procurement is being conducted under 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows for soliciting from a single source.

Market research, including a review of SAM.gov and historical Government contracts, indicates that OMNIcheck is the only manufacturer whose SCBA test equipment meets all mandatory technical, performance, and certification requirements for the department's SCBA program. The OMNIcheck platform is uniquely capable of performing fully automated NFPA-compliant flow testing, leak detection, pressure analysis, and integrated data capture for the department's existing SCBA inventory without requiring additional adapters, software modifications, or proprietary interface conversions. Competing systems reportedly lack the required interoperability, do not provide end-to-end automated diagnostics, or fail to meet the accuracy and repeatability thresholds mandated for life-safety equipment.

• Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price

• Fund Type: O&M, Air

• Estimated Total Price: Not specified in the provided document (redacted).

• This justification supports a single-source solicitation.

• The document states that a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov to ensure maximum visibility and promote competition among qualified small businesses for the provision and distribution of the OMNIcheck items.

• The document includes instructions for redaction of sensitive information, such as dollar amounts, names, and signatures, before public release.

• The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost will be Fair and Reasonable.
