Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements FAR 6.302- 1(a)(2)(iii)(B).

The Air Booster Pump Assembly (ABPA) is used for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus

(SCBA) charging of cylinders with Grade D air. The booster pump used in this system is manufactured by Hydraulics International and when rebuilding these pumps, only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts should be used to maintain system certification. The rebuild kit is specific to the pump used in the APBA design and the lock washers are a specific size and type for this pump. Use of alternate equipment may introduce new or changing existing parameters that introduces unacceptable risk may be harmful to the proper operation of the equipment. Therefore, Hydraulics International is the only brand that will meet the requirements for this effort. Hydraulics International is the OEM and these parts are specific to the pump used in the ABPA. As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and does expect significant and unacceptable delays that will negatively impact this requirement.

Therefore, it is in the Governments’ best interest to acquire the Hydraulics International brand.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b).

As stated in paragraph 4 above, the Hydraulics International brand, is the only brand that can meet this requirement.
