4. CONTRACT TITLE.

Oil Free Medical Grade Air Compressor

5. BACKGROUND.

The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Cooperative Studies Program Clinical Research Pharmacy Coordinating Center (CSPCRPCC) has a requirement to purchase an Oil Free Rotary Tooth Air Compressor. This oil free rotary air compressor is needed to supply medical grade compressed air to our packaging and manufacturing equipment spaces and equipment.

The compressor must allow for room air and equipment air to be supplied and maintained at an optimal low dew point requirement of -40 degrees Celsius for all equipment spaces and pharmaceutical drugs in the manufacturing stage, blister card production runs, bottle packaging and labeling runs. The CSPCRPCC currently has an estimated 50 pieces of high tech equipment that are used to support clinical research trials from tablet manufacturing machines to a fully automated bottle packaging line. The compressed air used in all manufacturing and processing procedures comes in direct contact with drug products and containers and must be of pharmaceutical grade and must be tested annually.

The CSPCRPCC currently utilizes an Atlas Copco ZT-18 which has been in use for nearly 13 years. This compressor has been extremely reliable; however, this model can no longer provide the amount of compressed air when all manufacturing and production lines are on line due to increase in equipment requirements. Requesting replacement to be an Atlas Copco ZT-22 (or equal).

6. SCOPE.

The contractor shall provide an oil free rotary tooth air compressor, and all other resources required to remove/replace outdated ZT18 compressor, install and integrate new compressor with the primary compressor to deliver system air through the desiccant air dryer, storage tank and then to facility equipment in order per this scope of work. Either compressor shall be able to be shut down for maintenance, with the second compressor available for operation with limited interruption in production, due to facility production schedule.

7. SPECIFIC TASKS.

The Oil Free Rotary Tooth Air Compressor, must have the capability of providing -40 degrees’ Celsius medical grade compressed air to our packaging and manufacturing equipment, and spaces ensuring Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), and FDA Regulation guidelines are met. The use of this equipment will be required when production controllers and manufacturing personnel are operating the high tech equipment used to support clinical trials, from tablet/capsule manufacturing machines to a fully automated bottle packaging line. This compressed air used in many manufacturing and processing procedures comes in direct contact with drug products and containers and must be of pharmaceutical grade standards and must be tested annually.
