A Market Survey was conducted to find a vendor who was capable and authorized to repair the first Cummins-Wagner pump. Questions of drawing availability and other technical data made finding such a vendor impossible and, as a result of the FEDBIZOP listing in FY ‘13, no bids were received.

Cummins-Wagner Annapolis Junction was established as the repair service for Cummins-Wagner Motors/Worthington Pumps, valves and pumps. No other vendor is capable or authorized to conduct these repairs.
