E-MAIL: Kathleen A. Webb, Kathleen.A.Webb@grc.nasa.gov. NASA/GRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for PR#124996 Sheet 1 of 1 SPECIFICATIONS FOR A HIGH PRESSURE WATER PUMP Item 1. Liquid Pump- Delaval-CIG Model No. 85250-RDW-007- . A. General Description The contractor shall provide a liquid pump assembly with the following salient characteristics: 1. The pump shall be vertically mounted, and completely assembled and aligned on a mounting base with a coupling guard. 2. The pump shall be suitable for pumping cooling tower water at a temperature range of 40 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. The pump flow rate shall be a minimum of 96 GPM at 1500 psig. 4. The pump inlet pressure will be 50 psig. 5. The fluid viscosity shall be 1 centistokes. 6. The inlet and outlet connections for each pump shall be suitable for mating with Code 61 SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) O-ring flanges. The inlet connection shall be 3 inches and the outlet connection shall be 2 inches. 7. Shall be a positive displacement gear type pump. 8. The materials used for the pump shall be suitable for use with water with rust inhibitor. 9. The operating speed for each pump shall not exceed 1800 rpm. 10. The operating noise level for each pump shall not exceed 85 dba at a distance of 3 feet from the pump. 11. The pumps' assembly shall fit in an envelope 84 inches height maximum by 30 inches square. B. Motor Drive The pump shall have an electrical motor drive with the following characteristics: 1. The pump motor shall be an open drip-proof continuous duty squirrel cage motor. 2. The motor shall be suitable for use with 480 volts, 60 hz., 60 phase a.c. power. 3. The motor shall be rated at 125 horsepower or greater. Item 2. Documentation The contractor shall supply a total of 3 sets of documentation. This shall be comprised of 3 sets of pump data curves and 3 sets of installation, operating, and maintenance instructions. A recommended list of spare parts shall also be furnished. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from IMO PUMP; WE ARE INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF THE HIGH PRESSURE COOLING WATER SYSTEM IN ASCR BY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL PUMP. THE PUMP SPECIFIED IS AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE EXISTING PUMPS IN THE FACILITY. THE FACILITY PIPING WAS INSTALLED WITH PROVISIONS TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL PUMP. GETTING AN IMO PUMP THAT IS AN EXACT DUPLICATE WILL RESULT IN MAINTAINING THE STANDARDIZING OF ALL PUMPS, MINIMIZING THE INSTALLATION COSTS, AND OPTIMIZING THE MAINTAINANCE SINCE ALL PUMP PARTS WILL BE INTERCHANGEABLE AND SPARE PARTS WILL BE MINIMIZED. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested firms have FIFTEEN (15)days from the publication of this synopsis to submit in writing to the identified point of contact, their qualifications/capabilities. Such qualifications/capabilities will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Responses received after the FIFTEEN (15)days or without the required information will be considered nonresponsive to the synopsis and will not be considered. A determination by the Government to not compete this proposed effort on a full and open competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
