Description

The Naval Sea Systems Commend, Coastal systems Station, Panama City, Florida intends to issue a sole-source purchase order to Lawrence Factor Incorporated for the acquisition of 100 cartridge holders. The cartridge holders house a chemical cartridge that is used to filter air for respiratory protection. These holders have been through grade shock A and vibration testing prior to installation on ships. This equipment is currently on 32 ships. The cartridge holders have been tested to perform to rigid requirements for shock, vibration, impact, etc. Only those vendors whose articles that have been successfully tested are qualified to provide equipment to the U.S. Navy. The objective of this process is to verify that the system provides acceptable levels of safety and mission critical support throughout the system specific operating range. The pre-certification process was used to provide maximum reasonable assurance that the equipment will perform properly and an accident will not occur. The items being provided are unique and non-standard. Only Lawrence Factor Incorporated has been approved to provide the cartridge holders to the U.S. Navy. Note 22 applies.
