About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document (V2) for federal contract FA452826C0008 regarding a Bulk Oil & Coolant Storage Dispenser, dated 08 July 26.
The document addresses manufacturer clarifications and government responses on four key specification issues. The government has clarified that the system will store two fluids only (15W-40 oil and ES Compleat PG coolant diluted 50/50), with annual usage of approximately 290 gallons of oil and 110 gallons of coolant. For storage containers, the government revised the requirement from eight 65-gallon containers to four 120-gallon containers (three black, one blue) to avoid custom manufacturing. For pumping equipment, the government removed the 8 GPM electric pumps and specified two pneumatic pumps (one for each liquid) compatible with 50-foot hose reels. The government also removed the requirement for top-mounted ports utilizing 1½-inch Quick Disconnect fittings connected to 2-inch NPT ports, as these are not standard on the manufacturer's systems. The government confirmed that no current dispensing system exists onsite and that lubricants are currently stored in multiple locations.

Bulk Oil & Coolant Storage Dispenser
08 July 26
Additionally, our 8 GPM electric pumps will not work with 50-ft hose reels. If the customer insists on the hose reel, then we would need to use a pneumatic pump. If they insist on the 8 GPM electric pump, then the hose reel would need to be removed.
We do not understand what is required for the “Intake/Supply Ports.” We do not utilize any top-mounted ports for intake or supply.
If only two liquids are being stored, we would recommend the use of our 120-gallon storage containers.
1. The manufacturer noted that the referenced image appears to be one of their tank systems; however, several of the specified components are custom configurations that may require additional sourcing and approval time.
2. The specification calls for 115V, 8 GPM electric pumps and 50-foot hose reels.
According to the manufacturer, their 8 GPM electric pumps are not capable of effectively operating with 50-foot hose reels.
• If the 50-foot hose reels are mandatory, a pneumatic pump would be required.
• If the 8 GPM electric pumps are mandatory, the hose reel configuration may need to be revised.
Could you please clarify whether either requirement may be adjusted, or if an equivalent solution would be acceptable?
Remove the 8gpm pumps. Keep the 50ft Hose reels and add two pneumatic pumps to the request (1 for each liquid).
3. The manufacturer is seeking clarification regarding the requirement for:
“Top-mounted ports utilizing 1½-inch Quick Disconnect (QD) fittings connected to 2-inch NPT ports.”
They do not typically utilize top-mounted intake or supply ports and would appreciate additional information regarding the intended function and application of these ports.
Remove this requirement.
4. The system appears to be intended for storing only two fluids (oil and coolant). The manufacturer recommends using their 120-gallon storage containers for this application and would like to know whether the specified configuration of eight 65-gallon containers is mandatory, or if alternative configurations meeting the required storage capacities would be considered.
Correct we intend to only have two fluids in this system. The 8 containers are mandatory.
We could go to 4, 120-gal containers. 3 black, 1 blue. This should meet our intent and keep from having to go custom.
Number of lubricants and coolant being used: 1 Oil, and 1 Coolant
Confirmation of the viscosity of each grade: 15W-40, and ES Compleat PG diluted 50/50
Confirmation of the specific brands of each lubricant: Multiple sources, and Fleet Guard
Annual volume used onsite: on average 290 gal of oil, 110 gal of coolant.
Confirmation of current storage and dispensing lubricants being used onsite
If possible could we be able to get a picture the current Lubrication Dispensing System
Could we receive a picture of the lube store”
We do not have a dispensing system. Current storage is in multiple locations.
