    This document is an amendment to a solicitation for a nitrogen generator, primarily extending the proposal due date from December 11, 2025, to December 29, 2025. It addresses industry questions regarding the requirement, clarifying technical specifications for the nitrogen generator. Key clarifications include the absence of an external compressed air system, the need for onboard nitrogen storage (850 CFM) at 4000-5000 psi, and a final output pressure of 300-500 psi. The generator must provide oil-free nitrogen with 95%-99% purity and be a complete turn-key system with a rotary screw air compressor, filtration, pressure regulation, and an in-line oxygen analyzer. The evaluation criteria prioritize technically acceptable proposals with the lowest total evaluated price.
