About this file
This Statement of Objectives (SOO) details the AEDC Service Air Compressor Replacement project for the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC). The primary objective is to replace two existing service air compressors in Building 651, maintaining current service air requirements of 220 CFM at 115 psig while improving performance, reliability, and compressor capabilities. The project requires demolition and replacement of existing compressors with new 50hp rotary compressors that meet specific technical specifications, including fitting within the current 15'6"x14'5" concrete pad area.
The contract stipulates a comprehensive scope of work within a 6-month timeframe, including equipment removal and replacement, piping and electrical reconnections, and post-installation commissioning. Key requirements include using factory-trained technicians to perform installation, verify compressor performance, conduct operational checks, adjust parameters, provide basic operator training, and develop a detailed maintenance schedule. The government will receive unlimited data rights to all technical reports, and the contractor is expected to provide maximum flexibility in managing schedule, performance, risks, and subcontracts while maintaining clear visibility for government oversight.

Statement of Objectives (SOO)
AEDC
Service Air Compressor Replacement
1. Program Objectives
1.1. Replace the existing service air compressors at AEDC Building 651. The objective of the AEDC Service Air Compressor Replacement is to restore service air capabilities for test support and tooling across VKF and other supported buildings/test facilities.
1.2. The minimum success criteria are to maintain current service air requirements (220 CFM @ 115 psig) with improvements to performance, reliability, and updated compressor capabilities. The expanded goal of this effort is to support an increase in service air production and compressor efficiency.
2. Contract Objectives
At a minimum, the contract shall define the following:
2.1. Work to-be Performed:
2.1.1. Specific, performance-based, quantitative terms of the work to-be-done, in the form of a Statement of Work (SOW), to satisfy the requirement in accordance with (IAW) SOO Attachment 1 – Performance Parameters.
2.2. Milestones:
2.2.1. Planned, significant events scheduled to occur at specific times in performance of the SOW, throughout a time-period not exceeding 6-months, to include all deliverables.
2.3. Data Deliverables.
2.3.1. Tangible or intangible data items produced as a result of the work performed, and their anticipated delivery date, method of delivery, format, and quantity.
2.4. Data Rights.
2.4.1. The Government shall receive Unlimited Data Rights to all technical data and reports ( data deliverables) produced in performance of the SOW.
3. Quality Control Plan (QCP):
3.1. Development and maintenance of a quality control plan to ensure the requirement is met IAW the SOW. Development and implementation of procedures to meet

IRA-24-0530 -Page - 2 milestones. Development and implementation of procedures to ensure appropriate corrective action is taken when milestones are not met.
4. Program Management Objective:
4.1. Allow offerors the maximum flexibility to innovatively manage schedule, performance, risks, warranties, subcontracts, and data so that it satisfies the user’s performance requirements (see SOO Attachment 1 – Performance Parameters).
Clear government visibility into the schedule, performance, and risks shall be maintained.

SOO Attachment 1 – Performance Parameters AEDC VKF Service Air Compressor Replacement:
The following is a list of the critical performance parameters (PPs) required to meet the objective of the AEDC VKF Service Air Compressor Replacement.
1. Demolition and replacement of existing compressors (2) with new rotary compressors that will sustain AEDC service air requirements.
1.1. Replacement compressors are required to have the following specifications at minimum (any specifications outside of the requirements should be reported back to proper AEDC personnel for approval):
1.1.1. Pressure Rating: 115 psig.
1.1.2. Power: 50hp.
1.1.3. Capacity: ≥ 220 CFM.
1.2. Compressors should fit within the current VKF service air compressor envelop.
Concrete pad dimensions: 15’6”x14’5”. Both compressors are positioned on one half of the pad with the dryer skid on the other half. Note: Concrete pad drawings can be provided upon contract award.
1.3. The Contractor should furnish all necessary equipment and rigging to remove and replace existing compressors.
1.3.1. Furnish all necessary equipment and rigging to set (2) new compressors in place of removed compressors
1.3.2. Furnish and install welded black iron piping to reconnect new compressors’ air discharge connections, if necessary. Connections should utilize Ingersoll Rand PN: 24554891, or a similar replacement, that are currently used to attach discharge connections to 2” piping upstream of SA-V248-VU and SA-V249-VU. Note: Piping drawings can be provided upon contract award.
1.3.3. Reuse existing isolation valves for new compressor installation.
1.3.4. Furnish and install pipe and fittings to reconnect condensate drain and to reuse as much existing as possible for water discharge.
1.3.5. Reuse existing electrical materials and furnish new as necessary to extend existing electrical supply for new compressors. The electrical interface for new compressors should not exceed the backside of the 480V electrical disconnect for each compressor.
