Nitrogen Generator

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base is seeking to procure one nitrogen generator designed to supply nitrogen gas for inflating aircraft tires. The system must meet precise technical specifications including 97-99% nitrogen purity through membrane nitrogen production, operate at 50-125°F, utilize 460V/60Hz/3-phase electrical power, and deliver 13-20 SCFM continuous flow at 300-500 PSIG output pressure with 400-500 PSIG storage capacity. Key requirements include an integrated rotary screw air compressor, touchscreen HMI control panel, in-line oxygen analyzer, emergency stop button, and dry, oil-less nitrogen output. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical acceptability and cost, with the contract to be awarded to the responsible offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the government, and vendors must provide written statements explaining how they meet the technical evaluation criteria. The solicitation was posted on December 2, 2025, with proposals due by December 11, 2025.

This procurement involves no set-aside designations and carries no identified incumbent contractor. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the solicitation documents. The requirement is for a single nitrogen generator unit with a standard one-year warranty and safety manual, which will undergo acceptance testing by the Maintenance Support Group following installation. The system is classified under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 6830 (Gases: Compressed and Liquefied). Performance and place of performance will be at Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, Tinker Air Force Base, where the equipment will be installed and operated for ongoing aircraft maintenance support operations.
