The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal awarded a single award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Compass Instruments Inc., a company that specializes in petroleum, lubricant, and materials testing equipment. The contract, valued at up to $11,382,910.03, covers the supply of thermal oxidation testers identified by National Stock Number 6630-01-564-5517 over a 5-year period from April 2022 through April 2027. To date, the Army has issued multiple delivery orders against this contract, valued at over $3 million, for the provision of these testers from Compass Instruments' facility in Sugar Grove, Illinois. The thermal oxidation testers are used by the Army to analyze fuel quality as part of the Petroleum Quality Analysis System - Enhanced (PQAS-E) program. This long-term contract supports the Army's requirement for these specialized testing devices with no set-aside designations applied.
The original solicitation for this procurement was a pre-solicitation notice posted in July 2020, indicating the Army's intent to award a contract for the thermal oxidation testers. The notice stated that qualification testing and source approval would be required for vendors to compete on future solicitations, but that source approval did not guarantee business. The contract awarded to Compass Instruments provides the government with a reliable supplier of these critical fuel testing devices to support military readiness and operations.
