QUESTION 1:

The RFQ is entitled, “3 roughing pumps and 3 turbo-molecular pumps for a mass spectrometry system”. It is not clear to me which three turbo-molecular pumps are required.

Here is from the document; SATPC0030508 Tab 10 RFQ Open Market

SECTION 1

STATEMENT OF WORK/BID SCHEDULE

This is a Brand Name requirement for Osaka Vacuum for TGkine1704MBWB MAGLEV pump, TGkine3004MBWB MAGLEV pump, and FR060D-2 Dry Vacuum Pump.

Two size turbopumps and one size backing pump is stated. FR060D is the full name of the backing pump. Does the -2 indicate something?

Your document; SATPC0030508 Tab 10 BNJ Redacted also states

Brand Name Justification:

☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Osaka Vacuum for TGkine1704MBWB MAGLEV pump, TGkine3004MBWB MAGLEV pump, and FR060D-2 Dry Vacuum Pump. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 days after award.

Could you please state how many of each pump is needed, as this is not clear to me from the RFQ? I might think either two of the 1704 and one of the 3004, or; one of the 1704 and two of the 3004, plus three of the FR060D’s.

Thanks for your time.

Question 1 Answer:

I need 1 of the TGkine1704MBWB MAGLEV pumps, 2 of the TGkine3004MBWB MAGLEV pumps, and 3 of the FR060D-2 Dry Vacuum Pumps.

The -2 was copied out from its description. The full description was, “Osaka FR060D-2 Dry Vacuum Pump, Air-cooled version, 36 CFM”

For completeness, I’m including the other descriptions:
