About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking to procure two brand name refrigerant compressors for Air Conditioner Unit (ACU-808), specifically the Frick Model XJF151N with Part Number 1034192. The solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued under FAR Parts 12 and 13, with a focus on obtaining specific compressor parts that meet detailed salient characteristics for B-1B Aerospace Ground Equipment. Evaluation criteria will prioritize delivery lead time as the most critical factor, followed by technical acceptability and price, using a trade-off process to determine best value. Potential vendors must submit firm-fixed-price quotes via email to Timeaki McPhee (primary contact) and Joshua Johnson (secondary contact) by 1500 MDT on May 22, 2025, with all questions due by 1500 MDT on May 20, 2025. Vendors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) account and be prepared to provide a comprehensive price breakdown including unit prices and shipping charges.

The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333415, with a size standard of 1,250 employees, specifically targeting small businesses capable of supplying the specialized compressor. The place of performance is located at 1940 EP Howe Drive, Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, with the compressors intended for the Ellsworth B-1B fleet. The compressors have a National Stock Number of 4130-01-711-1795 and are specifically engineered with unique mounting interfaces and integrated sensor components compatible with the ACU-808's proprietary software. Market research has indicated no directly comparable substitutes exist, which has led to this brand-specific procurement to prevent mission readiness delays. The associated TLD ACU-808 unit was manufactured in January 2020 with serial number T61352, and the government is seeking to address previous supply system delivery challenges through this targeted solicitation.
