EC - FI air compressors

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation issued Solicitation Number 140R6025Q0075 to procure two air-cooled, rotary screw air compressors with integrated air dryers and associated commissioning and startup services. The solicitation classified the procurement under NAICS code 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing) and PSC 4130 (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Components). Key contract requirements specified 460V/3-Phase power capability, a maximum weight of 1,300 lbs per unit, noise levels not exceeding 69 dB(A), and a minimum free air delivery capacity of 97 cfm, with specifications closely aligned to Quincy QGD-20 compressors or equivalent models. The government evaluated proposals based on three primary factors: technical capability, price, and past performance. Vendors were required to submit comprehensive quotations via email to Monica Burgio by 3:00 PM CDT on August 29, 2025, with all technical questions due by August 25, 2025.

This was a Total Small Business set-aside solicitation designated for small businesses with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The procurement called for delivery of the two air compressors within 60 days of award to the Bureau of Reclamation facility in Loveland, Colorado, with commissioning and startup services to be completed within 24 months of delivery at dates that may be scheduled separately for each unit. The solicitation did not specify an explicit award value or budget range in the notice. However, the amendment issued on December 4, 2025, subsequently canceled the entire solicitation due to the only technically acceptable quotations containing items of foreign origin that failed to meet Buy American statute domestic content requirements.
