43 -- HIGH PRESSURE AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR DRYER SOL N00014-96-Q-CRO3 POC Alan W. Crupi, Contract Specialist, Code 3220.CR, (202) 767-2550 and Kevin King, Contracting Officer, Code 3220.KK. The purpose of this modification is to establish the folowing: procedure for award (written quotations), small business set- aside requirement, revise the wording for charging rate to free air delivery rate and revise the delivery date. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement for a high-pressure air compressor(s) (HPAC) and air dryer for filling self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) air cylinders. The SCBA cylinders will be filled with Grade E breathing air to a pressure of 4500 pounds per square inch (PSI). The HPAC will not produce the Grade E air without the aid of a booster pump and purification equipment that NRL will obtain from other sources. The complete system of air compressor, air flasks. booster pump, and purification equipment will be installed and piped together by NRL personnel onboard the ex-USS Shadwell, a full-scale damage control platform. The output from the compressor may be the resultant of one compressor or more, operating together to create the final output. The performance of the HPAC equipment must meet the following requirements: oil-free compression, free air delivery rate of 60- 65 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), and an output pressure of 3000 PSI. Furthermore, the supplier must provide an air dryer compatible with the HPAC output. The air dryer must come equipped with a five (5) foot long flexible high-pressure hose that NRL will use in the system assembly. All electrical motors used on the HPAC must have totally-enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) enclosures and operate on 460 volts-alternating current (VAC), 3 phrase, 60 Hertz electricity. The supplier will not be responsible for the assembly of the complete system, only their high-pressure air compressor and air dryer, although those two items are not necessarily required to be assembled to one another. Delivery is FOB destination Mobile, AL with a required delivery date of ninety (90) days after receiving order. All responsible sources may submit a quotation which, if timely received, shall be considered. Telephone requests for this Request For Quotes (RFQ) will not be honored. Those companies requesting a copy of N00014- 96-R-CR03 need not reapply. Send requests for RFQ to: Contracting Officer, Attn: Code: 3220.CR, Naval Research Laboratory, 4555 Overlook Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20375-5326.
