Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole/limited source (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

Bauer Compressors are the only compressors with this capacity on the ANU (Authorized for Navy Use) list approved for Divers use. This model compressor is compatible with the existing certified system and Certified Recompression Chamber. Bauer Compressor is the only manufacturer for these compressors; therefore, due to the ANU, and Bauer being the only manufacturer, Bauer is the only source for procurement. The new compressors will be installed where the existing Bauer compressors are currently installed. Keeping proper scope of certification and operation of the Hyperbaric chamber requires these specific Bauer compressors.

SELECT AND FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

X☐ The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

X☐ The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed.

Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system

These new compressors will directly connect to all necessary utilities that will be feeding them without the need to change them. The electrical and venting requirements between the existing and new units are identical so there will be no need to make any changes to the facility to accommodate the switch. The physical size of the units is the same allowing for them to be placed in the same location. Additionally the programming of the new units will seamlessly integrate with the function that they are supporting. Essentially the new compressors are the newer model of the existing which are close to the end of their useable lifespan.

X☐ Other information to support a sole/limited-source buy:

This model of compressor is the only listed on both applicable sections the ANU (Authorized for Navy Use) list for diving section 005 “Divers Breathing Air & Mixed Gas” subsections 5.2 “HP air compressors” and 5.4 “Compressor Air Purification Systems” which also has the necessary capacity to meet the requirements of the system. Additionally, the Bauer compressor is the only piece of equipment on either list that would not require changes to the facility, utilities or both.
