About this file
This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for the U.S. Air Force procurement of two Bauer Breathing Air Compressors for Yokota Air Base in Japan. The acquisition is for fire and emergency services compliance, with specific requirements including delivery to Japan, removal of existing air compressors, disposal of old equipment in compliance with local environmental laws, and installation of new compressors at two specific buildings. The contract is valued at between >SAT and ≤$750K, using AFFARS 5313.501 - 10 U.S.C. 3572 as the statutory authority, and is not considered a bridge action.
The justification highlights that the existing infrastructure at Yokota Air Base utilizes Bauer equipment, and the new compressors must be compatible with both current and previous generation Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) systems. Multiple sources were contacted, with three responses received, and Bauer has fourteen authorized resellers. The Contracting Officer determined the cost to be fair and reasonable based on limited competition among authorized resellers and historical pricing data. The acquisition is not a true sole source due to multiple resellers, but is constrained by the specific brand and NFPA 1901 standards.
