K -- OIL COOLING PUMP MODIFICATION TO ELECTRIC POWER EQUIPMENT COMPANY TEST STAND (MODEL NO. 93-1064/NSN 4910-01-383-1130) POC Contact Michael D. Blackstone, Contracting Officer, at 703-784-5822 (Ext. 253) The Marine Corps Systems Command intends to award a contract with Electric Power Equipment Company (EPEC), 5151 E. 56th Avenue, Commerce City, CO 80002, to produce twenty-two (22) oil cooling pump modification kits for the Marine Corps Alternator, Generator, Regulator, Starter Test Stands (AGRS Model No. 93-1064, NSN 4910-01-383-1130) originally designed/produced as a commercial item by EPEC under Contract No. M67854-93-C-0102. The current EPEC AGRS test stand delivers up to 5 GPM of oil flow to maintain operating termperatures during the extended test period for various M1A1 alternators. The Marine Corps has recently discovered a need to test alternators for the M1A1 that require up to 8.5 GPM oil flow to maintain operating temperatures over an extended test period. As such, EPEC will design/produce modification kits that will provide an increased oil cooling capacity of 10 to 15 GPM, to include all associated hydraulic/electrical circuitry and valving. EPEC will also provide technical training to theMarine Corps to assist each of the using units in properly retrofitting the oil pump modification kits into the twenty-two (22) AGRS test stands resident in the Marine Corps. EPEC is the original equipment manufacturer of the Marine Corps AGRS test stands and, as such, is considered the only responsible source to design/develop the needed modifications and to provide the technical training that supports a successful and timely retrofit. It is estimated that the EPEC will complete delivery of all twenty-two (22) retrofit kits to the Marine Corps within six months of contract award. Training to the using units will be provided by EPEC on site within 30 days of final delivery of the retrofit kits. Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Justification: Supplies or Services required are available from only one or a limited number of sources under the authority of FAR 6.302. See Note 22. (0233)
