About this file
This file is Amendment A00001 to a federal solicitation addressing vendor questions regarding a restricted procurement for breathing air compressors. The United States Coast Guard, Surface Force Logistics Center issued solicitation 70Z04026Q62113Y00 for thirty (30) Bauer TYPE II-C-D/DV/MU/DIVE Breathing Air Compressors with delivery required within 84 days on a firm-fixed-price basis to Baltimore, Maryland. The procurement is structured as a total small business set-aside and requires all equipment to be genuine OEM manufactured by Bauer Compressors, Inc.
The amendment clarifies that this acquisition is strictly limited to genuine BAUER equipment and will not consider technically equivalent alternatives from other manufacturers, regardless of claimed compatibility. A formal Brand Name Justification has been approved and posted to SAM.gov to support the restriction, citing fleet-wide standardization, logistical compatibility, and shipboard certification requirements. Vendors must be authorized BAUER resellers to be eligible for award, and they must provide the exact part number (NSN 4220-01-617-9406) corresponding to the TYPE II-C-D/DV/MU/DIVE configuration. The Coast Guard will not provide salient characteristics or specifications for substitute designs since alternative products are not being considered for this requirement. All questions must be submitted in writing to Seth.A.Andrew@uscg.mil.

70Z04026Q62113Y00 Amendment A00001
14a. This amendment is issued to respond to the following questions received:
QUESTION: Is there a Brand Name Justification or other supporting determination for the restriction to BAUER equipment that can be provided to interested manufacturers?
ANSWER: Yes. A formal Brand Name Justification has been approved for this acquisition to maintain strict fleet-wide standardization, logistical compatibility, and shipboard certification constraints. The justification will be posted to SAM.gov in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements.
QUESTION: Would the Coast Guard consider a technically equivalent U.S.-manufactured high-pressure breathing-air compressor if it meets the Government's required operational, dimensional, weight, pressure, charging-rate, breathing-air-quality, shipboard and interface requirements?
ANSWER: No. The Coast Guard will not consider alternative high-pressure breathing-air compressor systems for this requirement, even if they claim technical equivalence. This acquisition is strictly restricted to genuine OEM BAUER equipment. Furthermore, interested vendors must be authorized BAUER resellers to be eligible for award; unauthorized third-party sources or substitute brands will not be accepted.
QUESTION: If equivalent products could be considered, would the Coast Guard please identify the salient characteristics necessary to maintain compatibility with the cutter fleet, including maximum dimensions and weight, required pressure and charging rate, drive type, breathing-air standard, fill connections, environmental/corrosion requirements, and any shipboard certification requirements?
ANSWER: Because alternative products are not being considered, the Coast Guard will not define or provide a list of salient characteristics for substitute manufacturing designs.
QUESTION: The Sources Sought refers to the ability to provide the “exact part number identified.” Could the Coast Guard please confirm the required BAUER part number and/or NSN for the TYPE II-C-D/DV/MU/DIVE configuration?
ANSWER: The required configuration is NSN 4220-01-617-9406, which corresponds to Bauer Compressors, Inc. part number TYPE II-C-D/DV/MU/DIVE (Compressor, Dive Type II, High Pressure). Quoters must demonstrate that they are providing this exact, genuine OEM equipment through an authorized supply chain.
