Compressor, 130 Ton core exchange

The U.S. Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security and through its Sflc Procurement Branch 2 in Alameda, California, intends to award a sole source contract to National Compressor Exchange Inc for the core exchange of five 130-ton compressors identified by part number 364-49094-215. This procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b) because National Compressor Exchange Inc is the sole source capable of delivering the required unit due to its status as an authorized affiliate of the original equipment manufacturer, Johnson Controls International, which holds proprietary technical knowledge and design specifications critical to ensuring compatibility, performance, and warranty integrity. No other vendor can meet the operational and technical requirements of the system, and the government has determined that no competitive procurement is necessary.

While the notice is not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties may submit capability statements to challenge the sole source determination, though no reimbursement will be provided for such submissions. The place of performance is Alameda, CA, and the item must be repaired or exchanged in accordance with the OEM repair description. No pricing details, contract value, payment instructions, invoicing methods, or specific packaging and labeling requirements are provided in the notice, and no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, inspection criteria beyond OEM compliance, or certification requirements from the vendor are included. The procurement is not set aside for any socioeconomic categories, and no contract type, option periods, security clearances, or key personnel requirements are specified.
