Emergency Breathing Systems

The U.S. Army is issuing a sources‑sought notice to identify vendors capable of supplying Emergency Breathing Systems (PN: CAZ‑K03B), air compressors, refill stations, and repair toolkits for over‑water aircrew missions. Although the Army intends to award the requirement on a sole‑source basis to Aerial Machine and Tool Corporation, it seeks market input to confirm that no other responsible sources exist and to gather information on commercial availability, pricing, and delivery. Respondents must submit detailed competition considerations, company data (including SAM, CAGE, size status, and NAICS), interest level, capability and past performance, and commerciality information via email to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer. No formal bid, quote, or proposal is requested at this stage; the notice is purely informational and does not obligate the government to pay for responses. • Identify any factors that might restrict competition and propose alternatives. • Provide full company profile (SAM ID, CAGE, size, certifications, NAICS). • State interest in competing if a future competitive solicitation is issued. • Detail prior experience with similar emergency breathing equipment, including prime/sub‑contract roles. • Offer market data: catalog pricing, delivery schedules, warranties, and terms. The outcome will help the Army decide whether to proceed with a sole‑source award or to develop a competitive solicitation.
