- Description
- Introduction If you market a centrifugal pump that either meets or could potentially meet the requirements for either of the two pumps described below, please take time to participate in this market research. Please submit your response no later than 14 May 07 Narrative The US Army is interested in gathering information on commercially available pumping assemblies for use in both tank farms and pipeline operations. We are interested in information on pump assemblies that you feel could be used in our applications, whethe r they meet all of the requirements identified below or not. Two separate pump assemblies are of interest. The first would be capable of pumping both fuel and water at a capacity of 600 GPM at 350 feet total head. The second would be capable of pumping both fuel and water at a capacity of 800 GPM at 1800 feet tota l head. Although the same model of pump will be used in both fuel and water applications, a pump designated by the Army to pump fuel will not be used in water applications, and a pump designated for water will not be used in fuel applications. The pump a ssemblies must be capable of both over the highway and off-road transport and operate on JP-8 fuel. JP-8 fuel is used by the military and is equivalent to Jet A-1 with three additive inhibitors. Jet A-1 is used at all U.S. Airports for commercial aircraf t. If this narrative describes one or more of your product(s) currently manufactured for commercial use, please take time to respond to the following questionnaire. Include any vendor literature or brochures that may aid in describing your product. If you participate in this market questionnaire, we ask you to proceed as follows: 1. Answer the questionnaire. 2. Attach your completed questionnaire to an e-mail message. 3. Attach any additional product literature you would like us to review. 4. Enter Pump Market Research in the subject line. 5. Send the e-mail to david.green8@us.army.mil. 6. You may submit your response by mail to the following address: USA TACOM LCMC AMSRD-TAR-D Mail Stop 110 (David Green) 6501 E. 11 Mile Road Warren, MI 48397-5000 If you have any questions, please contact David Green at (586) 574-4149 or by email at david.green8@us.army.mil Pump # 1: Pump Assembly - 600 GPM at 350 feet vertical head 1. Company information Name: Address: Phone Number: Point of contact(s): 2. You may submit information for more than one model of pump that you feel may best meet our requirements. 3. Please identify any differences in your commercial pump and the Armys requirements. List any changes that could be made to meet the Armys requirements and state their significance. Please keep in mind that the purpose of this market investigation i s to gather information on pumping assemblies that could reasonably be used in Army applications, even if they do not meet all of the stated requirements. 4. Provide the make and model number of pump assembly for consideration and any available literature that describes the pump. 5. Provide pump assembly dimensions & weight (weight when filled with crankcase oil and antifreeze when required). 6. State if wheel mounted, skid mounted or other and if suitable for highway and off road transport (an acceptable method for transport is to secure the pump assembly inside a standard 8long x 8high x 65 ? wide external dimension TRICON shipping contai ner). 7. Identify tie-down provisions to secure the pump for transport purposes. 8. Describe operating control features (manual, automated, or both). 9. Briefly describe standard pump operating and maintenance procedures, and the number of personnel and skill level required to operate and maintain the pump. 10. Briefly describe the control panel layout and modularity features (plug and play, ease of replacement, etc). 11. Provide pump curve. 12. Provide pump priming capabilities. 13. Describe the standard pump in let and outlet options (pipe sizes, standard fittings, etc). 14. State if the pump incorporates a strainer, and provide mesh size when used. 15. Engine information: a. Provide manufacturer, model number, type, displacement, and horsepower rating. b. List approved operating fuels, oils, and coolants. c. Address compatibility to operate on JP-8 fuel. d. Provide emission information, and list key emission components and emission TIER level. e. Provide information on the electrical and cranking system such as operating voltage and battery requirements. f. Provide cold start temperature rating and a brief description of any cold start systems such as glow plugs, manifold heater, and etc. g. Provide fuel tank capacity. 16. Describe any safety features, and include data on noise levels during operation, and identify any standard noise suppression features. 17. Provide the operating temperature range for the pump assembly. 18. Discuss any features that make the pump robust and suitable for use in harsh Army applications. Pump # 2: Pump Assembly - 800 GPM at 1800 feet vertical head 1. Company information Name: Address: Phone Number: Point of Contact(s): 2. You may submit information for more than one model of pump that you feel may best meet our requirements. 3. Please identify any differences in your commercial pump and the Armys requirements.

Provide pump assembly dimensions & weight (weight when filled with crankcase oil and antifreeze when required). 6. State if wheel mounted, skid mounted or other and if suitable for highway and off road transport (an acceptable method for transport is to secure the pump assembly inside a standard 8x8x20 external dimension ISO shipping container, or configure the p ump to be compatible with a standard ISO shipping container.) 7. Identify tie-down provisions to secure the pump for transport purposes. 8. Describe operating control features (manual, automated, or both). 9. Briefly describe standard pump operating and maintenance procedures, and the number of personnel and skill level required to operate and maintain the pump. 10. Briefly describe the control panel layout and modularity features (plug and play, ease of replacement, etc). 11. Provide pump curve. 12. Provide pump priming capabilities. 13. Describe the standard pump inlet and outlet options (pipe sizes, standard fittings, etc). 14. State if the pump incorporates a strainer, and provide mesh size when used. 15. Engine information: a. Provide manufacturer, model number, type, displacement, and horsepower rating. b. List approved operating fuels, oils, and coolants. c. Address compatibility to operate on JP-8 fuel. d.
