Air Power Services, Inc. has held the annual maintenance contract (N61331-18-P-0189) for the equipment listed in the table above for 5 years. APS was awarded the original contract on a sole source basis due to their unique position in the industry, providing installation and maintenance services on the diverse array of equipment utilized by NEDU.

As a follow-on contract to 18P0189, APS is very familiar with the operating procedures and strict requirements currently in place at NEDU, offering continuity of operations and consistence in the maintenance of the equipment that is so necessary to life and limb of the NEDU diving community. To use another company to conduct the maintenance may invalidate any warranties on the installed equipment. Use of another vendor may change or introduce new parameters that may be harmful to all diving systems tested and maintained at NEDU, and negatively affect the diving and life support systems these machinery are vital components of. Therefore, it is imperative that APS be used to limit the risk to life and safety of NEDU personnel working in the systems that utilize the various equipment.
