91--Provide Lube Oil Requirement for NOAA Ship Pisces

The Department of Commerce's NOAA Marine Operations Center plans to award a sole source contract to Central Alabama Training Solutions, Inc., for the procurement of specialized breathing air equipment in support of an upcoming drydock availability. This equipment includes a specific model compressor unit and fill station designed for SCBA refilling operations, along with breathing air storage cylinders and related hardware. The contract specifies delivery to Pascagoula, Mississippi by September 1, 2026, and requires all items to be new and accompanied by detailed operational, maintenance, and installation documentation. The equipment must meet size constraints to fit within designated spaces and include advanced safety and operational features. Central Alabama Training Solutions is the only authorized distributor for MAKO breathing air products in Mississippi, maintaining required certifications for sales, service, and warranty support. This notice is a formal announcement of the intent to procure on a sole source basis under FAR 6.103, without a competitive solicitation package available. Interested firms that believe they meet the requirements may submit capability statements within five days of the notice's publication, but the government retains sole discretion to proceed without competition. All responses must be submitted electronically to the identified NOAA contact and companies must be registered in the System for Award Management to be eligible for award. The project involves the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter SCBA refill station, with a response deadline set before the end of May 2026.
