--Air Driven Gas Booster Pumps

The Directorate of Contracting (DOC), Fort Campbell, KY, has a requirement for Air Driven Gas Booster Pumps. The procurement will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented b y FAR 6.302-1 and awarded on an unrestricted basis. The Agency intends to enter into a firm-fixed-price, supply-type contract with Haskel International, Inc. located in Burbank CA. The basis for restricting competition is the regulatory restrictions for safety reasons within the Department of Defense. This is the only manufacturer that is approved by the U.S. Navy to provide this pump for scuba operations support. Required quantity is 4 each of the Air Driven Gas Booster Pumps with the following specifi cations: Gas Booster: Model 27187 (28881-AGT-15/30 modified for oxygen service). Air driven, two stage, reciprocating air motor, balanced opposed piston type. The high pressure oxygen barrels are triple sealed, non-lubricated, hydrocarbon free, and separated fro m the air drive. Air drive section: NO OILING required, factory lubricated, corrosion resistant. Cooling with air exhaust to both stages and intercooler. This model booster (AGT-15/30) is capable of gas outlet pressures equal to 30 X the Air Drive Pressure, plus 2 X the Gas Inlet Pressure. E.g.: With 75 psi air drive (5 bar) and 500 psi gas inlet (34 bar), the booster will only produce or stall at 3,250 psi (224 bar). 30 X 75 psi + 2 X 500 psi = 3,250 psi outlet. Minimum Air Drive Quantity: 70 SCFM for full cycling speed. Lower volumes will cause the booster to cycle slower and result in slower fill times. Air drive pressure range: 40 - 150 psi (3 - 10 bar). Maximum gas inlet: 2500 psi (172 bar) (First Stage X Max. Air Drive, 15 X 150=2500). Maximum gas outlet: 5000 psi (345 bar). Equipment will be delivered to Fort Campbell, KY.
