This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The purpose of this procurement is to acquire for the government one(1) Coolant Recycling System. This coolant recycling system shall provide a central fluid collection point for tramp-oil and suspended solids removal, bacteria control and fluid concentration adjustment. A divided tank will be used to process the coolant. The inlet (dirty coolant) compartment will allow settling and removal suspended solids and the second (clean coolant) compartment to contain clarified coolant.Three (3) prnciples: gravity settling, filtration, and coalescence are used to attain the clarification of the dirty coolant. A floating skimmer is required in the inlet compartment to assure surface "pick-up" of free floating tramp-oils and any undesirable rag or cream layer. A bag filter assembly shall be used to remove suspended solids, a tramp-oil seperator utilizing a gravity coalescence principle will remove free floating dispersed and loosely emulsified tramp-oils to as little as 1/10% by volume. The seperated tramp-oil will be discharged automatically into a storage drum while the clarified coolant flows by gravity from the seperator into the clean compartment. Clarified and refortified coolant will continually overflow into the inlet compartment for further clarification. The clean mode of the recycling system shall be plumbed thru the existing floor trenches to three (3) distribution station. Each station shall have hose reels capable of distributing coolant to all equipment with in the "north" bay . A sump cleaner shall be utilized to remove contaminated coolant from sump tanks on machines. The contaminated coolant will then be dropped via inlet pipe into the recycling systems "dirty" side to begin the recycling process.
