About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking a complete air compressor system for Patrick Space Force Base to support mission-critical operations by providing reliable compressed utility and breathing air. The procurement requires multiple compressor units including a 100 HP QGV Rotary Air Compressor, a 10 HP QOF-10 Oil-Free Scroll Compressor, a 20 HP Reciprocating Air Compressor, along with a 400-gallon air receiver tank, compressed air dryer, and filtration system. All equipment must comply with USAF, OSHA, and SLD45 standards, include concrete equipment pads for installation, and be delivered with comprehensive documentation including technical manuals, warranty documents, and ISO compliance certifications. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 9:30 AM EST, with strict requirements including RSVP by September 2, REAL ID-compliant identification, and appropriate PPE for base access through the East Gate. The solicitation responses are due September 15, 2025, and the government has indicated that funds are not currently available, reserving the right to cancel the solicitation.
This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the solicitation documents, though the comprehensive nature of the system suggests a significant investment in industrial air compression equipment. The contractor must provide manufacturer warranties including a 10-year warranty on certain components and a 1-year full unit warranty on all equipment. Installation will occur at Hangar J, Patrick Space Force Base in Melbourne, Florida, with delivery terms specified as FOB destination. The system must be installed by licensed electricians and undergo acceptance sampling by Base Bioenvironmental Engineering before initial operation, with the contractor required to provide operations training as part of the complete turnkey solution.

Compressor
Q and A
1. Can you provide pictures of the room where the compressor will go?
a. Attached
2. What are the specifications of the concrete pad? (Please note: we do not require a concrete pad, and our compressors are rubber-isolated, so they do not need to be bolted to the floor. Is this acceptable?)
a. Even with the rubber isolation the concrete housekeeping pad is required
3. What is the distance of the electric service to the compressors?
a. There will be a disconnect box on the wall within 10 feet of each piece of equipment
4. Will a breaker be provided, or will we need to supply one?
a. There will be a breaker in the disconnect box and a breaker in the main panel
5. There is mention of duct work — can you describe in detail what is required?
a. Although I am not an expert, there is ductwork for fresh-air, you can see in the picture in (2) places.
6. There is no oil/water separator which is required for all drain lines on compressors, dryers, tanks, and filters
a. No separator needed
7. There is not a tank for the oil free compressor
a. The oil free compressor is for breathing air and does not require a tank (see attached diagrams)
8. A 400 gallon tank is not big enough for the 100HP. Industry recommends 4-5 gallons per CFM.
a. The 400-gallon tank should be sufficient. Multiple high volume air devices will not be in use simultaneously
9. There is no dryer for the recip machine
a. According to the attached diagram this compressor routes coalescing and particulate filters into air receiver and them thru the air drier.
