1 EA Brand Name Bauer Air Compressor IAW SOR

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command seeks procurement of one Bauer Model I230-40-E3 high-pressure air compressor, with proposals due July 15, 2026. The procurement is a total small business set-aside and carries a women-owned small business (WOSB) restriction. This is a brand-name, sole-source requirement; the justification cites technical necessity and identifies Compressed Air Specialties, Inc. as the sole West Coast distributor.

Place of performance is Monterey, California. The compressor must be air-cooled, oil-lubricated, 4-stage reciprocating, rated for 5,000 psi with 48 SCFM FAD (60 SCFM charging rate), 40 horsepower, 460 volts AC 3-phase, and include a sound-attenuating cabinet with no purification system. The requirement supports the Rocket Propulsion and Combustion Laboratory at Naval Postgraduate School; the existing identical compressor is non-functional and obsolete with no parts or service available. Purchasing an alternative model would require re-evaluation and potential upgrade of air handling systems, safety equipment, and facility electrical infrastructure. Delivery is required on or before August 21, 2026, to Building 217 at the NPS Rocket Lab, with advance notice required for forklift coordination.

The NAICS code is 333912, Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing; PSC is 4310, Compressors and Vacuum Pumps. Contract type is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) with firm fixed price. Award value is estimated at $111,094.00. Shipping and all applicable tariffs are included in one CLIN. Offerors must provide proof of Bauer authorization, completed SF 1449 with pricing, a specification and capability statement, and authorization documentation (maximum three pages). The contracting officer is Sheri K. Bunn-Markryd, sheri.k.bunn-markryd.civ@us.navy.mil.
