The document details an overhaul and inspection process for Bauer Capitano II Compressors, specified for the U.S. Coast Guard. Contractors must perform a complete examination, report reparability, and provide a detailed inspection report including required parts, materials, labor hours, and an overhaul cost estimate. Repairs should restore the compressors to original specifications using only genuine Bauer parts. Prior to proceeding, contractors require written authorization from the Coast Guard Contracting Officer, who will decide on the repair or disposal of the unit. Overhauled compressors must be tested as per the set requirements, with comprehensive documentation provided. Each compressor should be preserved, adequately packaged for long-term storage, and marked with pertinent identifying information. The package should facilitate protection during multiple shipments. The warranty stipulates a two-year guarantee against defects post-delivery. The document emphasizes compliance with safety and quality standards throughout the overhaul process and outlines specific preservation and packaging requirements to ensure item integrity during storage and transport. The maximum estimated cost for the overhaul is $8,644.65.

The document outlines the overhaul requirements and specifications for the electric compressor, specifically the Bauer Air Compressor (BAC) model Oceanus-E3/Navy, under U.S. Coast Guard oversight. Key tasks include teardown, inspection, and repair to restore the compressor to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, with the contractor responsible for ensuring the safe handling of government-furnished compressors. An inspection report detailing parts, materials, labor, and a cost estimate for repairs must be provided, with repairs not exceeding two-thirds of the original compressor's cost. The document mandates the use of new original or equivalent parts and specifies that certain components must be replaced as a requirement. Comprehensive testing is required, including certification of air quality produced, with results documented in a test report. The packaging and shipping of overhauled units must adhere to strict standards, clearly marked for easy identification. The contractor is also required to warranty the refurbished compressor for up to two years. The acceptance of the work is subject to government inspection to ensure conformity to all specifications. The estimated overhaul cost is capped at $8,000, emphasizing the government's commitment to maintaining operational readiness for afloat assets.

This document serves as a justification for a sole-source acquisition under simplified acquisition procedures for the repair of specific portable breathing air compressors, namely the E3 NAVY model OCEANUS and the CD/NAVY/DIVE model Capitano, essential for the operational readiness of the surface fleet. It identifies Bauer Compressor Inc. as the sole manufacturer due to the critical and unique characteristics of the equipment that meet strict safety standards and specifications required for naval operations. The rationale emphasizes that no alternatives can satisfy government requirements without extensive testing, as the equipment is proprietary. The document outlines prior market research efforts, confirming that procurement must be from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Future government actions may include reviewing performance data and inviting bids for new standard pumps to encourage competition. The estimated cost for this acquisition is $181,964.40, highlighting the necessity of adhering to established procurement protocols and the critical nature of the equipment involved in maintaining fleet safety.
