Ingersoll-Rand, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), is the only brand of the two (2) Stage Airend Kit required by 309 MXSG to bring the Ingersoll-Rand RS185IE-W-125 Air Compressor back to full operational status. Cate Industrial Solutions, LLC. (Cate Industrial) is the Authorized Ingersoll-Rand Distributor that can provide the unique two (2) Stage Airend Kit, along with the required installation. Therefore, this acquisition requires the Brand Name procurement and replacement of the two (2) Stage Airend Kit through Cate Industrial.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The Government SME contacted Ingersoll-Rand, the OEM, to locate other vendors capable of providing and replacing the two (2) Stage Airend Kit. Ingersoll-Rand stated that Cate Industrial is the only Authorized Ingersoll-Rand Distributor

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

The Government intends to evaluate any opportunities to remove barriers on future requirements. The Government will continue to perform market research to see if any new opportunities allow for competition. Currently, the only option for the two (2) Stage Airend Kit is to use Cate Industrial. The Government will need to reengage with Ingersoll- Rand for future requirements, to determine if new vendors have been granted access to their distribution rights.
