Sources Sought Notice, Brand Name Only Air Compressors

The U.S. Government is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying two specific Ingersoll Rand air compressors: the IRN60H-OF oil-free rotary screw model and the SSR-EPE200-2S two-stage oil-flooded rotary screw model. This notice, issued under solicitation number PANAPG-26-P-0000043574 by the Army Contracting Command - APG, Tobyhanna Division, is strictly informational and does not constitute a solicitation, request for quote, or commitment to award a contract. Responses are voluntary, and respondents are not compensated for time or costs incurred in providing information. All data submitted will be treated as proprietary if clearly marked as such and held in confidence, but submission is not required to remain eligible for future solicitations. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 333912 for Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees; however, socioeconomic certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or WOSB are not requested. Vendors must provide their SAM Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, business size, market availability of the specified equipment, and point of contact details to be considered for future contracting actions. The place of performance for any resulting contract would be Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, at 11 Hap Arnold Boulevard. Responses must be submitted via email to megan.jones5.civ@army.mil by May 7, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST, with the notice ID included in the subject line. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, invoicing methods, or delivery schedules are defined at this stage, as this is a pre-solicitation market research action. The anticipated contract type, if a solicitation is issued, is expected to be Firm-Fixed-Price, but no cost estimates or contract values have been released. No formal contract administration data such as payment office details, COR or PCO assignments, or appropriation symbols are provided. The requirement is branded-only, with no alternatives permitted, and compliance is based solely on Ingersoll Rand manufacturer specifications without reference to external standards.
