Pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii(C), Hydraulics International is the only brand of equipment that will meet the Government’s needs for the following reasons.

When rebuilding these pumps, only OEM parts should be used. The rebuild kits are specific to the pump used in our design and the lock washers are a specific size and type for this pump. Use of alternate equipment may introduce new or change existing parameters that introduce unacceptable risk of jeopardizing the proper operation of the equipment.

Therefore, it is in the Government’s best interest to acquire the Hydraulics International brand Air Booster Pump Assemblies and associated replacement part kits.
