CE SCBA Air Compressor

The 436th Contracting Squadron (CONS) at Dover Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify vendors for a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) air compressor system. This equipment is for fire department emergency responders and is currently designated as a Small Business Administration (SBA) set-aside. The system must integrate with existing infrastructure maintained under service contract FA449725C0008. The government requires an all-in-one breathing air compressor that meets current NFPA 1901 and 1989 standards. Due to the technical requirements of the existing service contract and the need for operational continuity, the government specifies a requirement for the Bauer brand. Substituting a different brand would lead to incompatibility with current infrastructure, void the existing warranty, and create safety risks. Responses are due by June 19, 2026, for performance at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
