Rental of two Air Compressors with Air Dryers

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard is preparing to issue a solicitation for the rental of two 800 CFM oil-free electric-powered air compressors equipped with air dryers, with the official release expected around April 17, 2025, and the closing date approximately April 23, 2025. This procurement is designated as a Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 532490, which applies to commercial equipment rentals, and will be awarded as a firm fixed-price contract. The solicitation will be available exclusively through the SAM.gov website, and interested parties must maintain active registration in the SAM database to be eligible for award. The government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), indicating a sole-source procurement process. Potential offerors, including joint ventures, must ensure their SAM registration accurately reflects their entity status at the time of award, as failure to do so may result in the award being made to another qualified bidder. The primary points of contact for inquiries are Theresa Clark and Shakir Shinaba, both of whom can be reached via email and phone. The contract will be performed at Norfolk, Virginia, and all relevant details, including the official solicitation, will be posted on SAM.gov. No paper copies will be issued, and requests via telephone or fax will not be honored.
