About this opportunity
The 60th Contracting Squadron at Travis Air Force Base has published a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source for nitrogen generator servicing under the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command. This procurement specifically targets the maintenance and servicing of a BAUER Compressors SNGII-MVT Stationary Nitrogen Generator manufactured by Bauer Compressors, Inc. The notice falls under NAICS code 325120 for Industrial Gas Manufacturing and PSC code 6810 for Chemicals. Travis AFB intends to award this firm-fixed-price contract exclusively to Bauer Compressors, Inc., located in Norfolk, Virginia, based on their proprietary ownership of the equipment. The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity.
The Air Force justifies this sole source award under FAR 6.302-1, asserting that only Bauer Compressors can provide the required maintenance services as the original equipment manufacturer without causing unacceptable delays or duplicated costs. While this is not a competitive solicitation, any firm believing it can meet the requirements may submit written notification with supporting evidence by September 18, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. PST via email to the designated contracting officer. Responses must demonstrate the contractor's ability to perform the maintenance requirements in sufficient detail for government evaluation. The government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with competition based on any responses received, and if no responses are submitted, the award will proceed to Bauer Compressors as planned. The procurement ensures continued performance, reliability, and warranty compliance for the specialized nitrogen generation equipment critical to Travis AFB operations.
