Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Kaeser Compressors, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer and service provider based in Fredericksburg, Virginia, supplies rotary screw air compressors, compressed air systems, maintenance services, and replacement parts to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards), competing on full-and-open contracts with no set-aside posture. The company operates primarily through firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, serving 73 distinct customer agencies across defense, civilian, and specialty missions.

Kaeser's capability footprint centers on compressed air equipment and services: rotary screw compressor procurement and installation, preventive maintenance including oil changes and filter replacements, emergency repair and parts supply, and specialized systems such as desiccant dry air filters and condensate treatment equipment. Representative recent work includes a $254.7 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order with the Department of the Navy's Strategic Systems Command Test Center for compressor maintenance at Dahlgren, Virginia (ultimate completion July 2031); a $44.7 thousand preventive maintenance and repair contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 for Kaeser air compressors at West Haven, Connecticut serving inpatient care areas (September 2031); and a $498.9 thousand purchase order from the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations for procurement and installation of a rotary screw air compressor package at the Fredericksburg facility (December 2026). A $259.3 thousand Air Education and Training Command delivery order for screw compressors and accessories (February 2025) and a $179.2 thousand Naval Education and Training Command order for eight SM10 oil-less compressors supporting Surface Combat Systems Training (January 2024) are representative of mid-range equipment orders. Sole-source authority citations appear frequently across awards, reflecting Kaeser's position as original equipment manufacturer with proprietary parts and technical knowledge.

Customer concentration is broad but with meaningful pockets. The top five funding organizations account for 25% of awards by count but less than one-third of combined potential value. GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates dollars (3 awards, $4.2 million), anchored on the Multiple Award Schedule vehicle. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center represents the largest defense concentration (5 awards, $754 thousand). The Department of the Air Force Air National Guard places the highest award count (12 awards, $394 thousand), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division (8 awards, $392 thousand) surfaces as an unexpected concentration by dollar value. This distribution reflects Kaeser's penetration across facility operations, training commands, and specialty technical centers rather than concentration in a single mission area.

Kaeser places 51 task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, generating $2 million in combined potential value and serving as the primary transactional vehicle. An Army Indefinite Delivery Contract (W912L719D6001) carries 7 task orders valued at $65 thousand. The company is registered across NAICS codes reflecting its product and service lines: 82 awards in Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing (NAICS 333912), 49 in Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS 423830), and 29 in machinery repair and maintenance (NAICS 811310). Federal Supply Code 4310 (Compressors and Vacuum Pumps) and PSC codes for compressor maintenance dominate the classification landscape.

Activity remains stable and distributed across the federal base. Awards per year held between 8 and 11 from 2022 through 2026, with combined potential value of $10.2 million across 190 awards since 1997. Obligated funding stands at $5.9 million (58% of potential value), indicating moderate execution velocity. Four awards totaling $705 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, Kaeser performs under five primes — Pantexas Deterrence, LLC (Pantex Plant management and operation); KBR Services, LLC (Navy sustainment compressor diesel-powered systems); Asrc Federal Gulf State Constructors LLC (base operation support at Vance Air Force Base); and Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (Y-12 National Security Complex management and operating)—indicating selective use of subcontracting to anchor in specialized industrial and defense programs outside its direct-prime customer set.
