Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Kaeser Compressors, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer and service provider headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia, sells compressed air equipment, rotary screw compressors, air dryers, and preventive maintenance services to the federal government as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards), competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its portfolio.

Kaeser operates predominantly through firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders, with no SBA certifications or set-aside footprint. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on rotary screw compressors (Kaeser Model SM 10, AIRCENTER SX 7.5, MXS variants), air filtration and drying systems, and multi-year preventive maintenance programs for compressed air infrastructure. Representative recent work includes a $498 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (awarded April 2026) for rotary screw air compressor procurement and installation at Fredericksburg; a $259 thousand purchase order from Air Education and Training Command (September 2024) for screw compressors and accessories; a $179 thousand Naval Education and Training Command procurement (August 2023) for eight oil-less air compressors at an Aegis training facility; and a $145 thousand Air Mobility Command delivery order (April 2024) for MXS compressors. Sole-source awards account for a material share of recent work, including a $34 thousand NASA Shared Services Center order (May 2026) for a Kaeser SM 10 Simplex with dryer and a $33 thousand Defense Health Agency award (September 2023) for an AIRCENTER SX 7.5 compressor for dental facilities.

Customer concentration is diffuse across defense and civilian agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 26% of awards and include the Air National Guard (12 awards, $394 thousand), the Smithsonian Institution (11 awards, $76 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (9 awards, $68 thousand), the FBI (8 awards, $392 thousand), and Army Joint Munitions Command (8 awards, $120 thousand). When ranked by potential value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates at $4.2 million combined potential value across three awards (61% of total portfolio value), driven by Kaeser's seat on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; Naval Air Systems Command / Naval Air Warfare Center follows with $754 thousand across five awards. The Air National Guard, FBI, and Air Education and Training Command round out the top tier. This split between order volume and dollar concentration reflects Kaeser's GSA MAS vehicle anchoring the largest individual awards while smaller sole-source and competitive purchase orders span multiple smaller customers.

Kaeser holds a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, from which 50 task orders carry $1.9 million in combined potential value. The vendor also works under Army Indefinite Delivery Contract W912L719D6001 (7 task orders, $65 thousand) and Army IDC M6700419D0001. Full-and-open competition dominates; the source does not identify any GWAC, agency-wide IDIQ, or other multi-agency vehicle participation beyond GSA MAS.

Activity has remained steady at eight to twelve awards annually over the past five years (2022 through 2026), with no growth or decline trajectory. Three awards totaling $623 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete or replacement in that window. The vendor's sub-award footprint is minimal (3% of recent awards), with work as a subcontractor to Pantexas Deterrence LLC on Pantex Plant capital equipment management; to KBR Services LLC on a Navy diesel-powered compressor sustainment task; to Asrc Federal Gulf State Constructors LLC on Vance Air Force Base operations support and a broader base operations support continued contract; and to Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC on Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex Plant management and operations.

Work is performed at Fredericksburg, Virginia (headquarters and primary production site) and at customer locations including military bases, field support centers, and civilian agency facilities across the continental United States. The vendor's NAICS footprint reflects both manufacturing (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing, 81 awards) and service delivery (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance, 27 awards; Facilities Support Services, 4 awards).
