Ink Pumps

The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing seeks ten Graco Pumps 63:1 Ratio 200L D200 Supply Units (Part Number RCM1559) for Super Orloff Intaglio printing presses, with quotations due September 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. The procurement is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside and carries a brand-name-only requirement; the specified Graco model is the sole version approved by the original equipment manufacturer, Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions, for compatibility with the presses' unique fluid pressure specifications (up to 6,300 psi), delivery flow rates (1.6 GPM), and pneumatic configurations. Alternative pump brands do not match the required physical form factor or pneumatic hose connections and would require extensive custom engineering, risk catastrophic production downtime, and void manufacturer warranties.

Place of performance is the Western Currency Facility in Fort Worth, Texas (9000 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth, TX 76131). Delivery must occur within 30 days of contract award on an FOB destination basis. The NAICS code is 333248, All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing; PSC is 3610, Printing, Duplicating, and Bookbinding Equipment. Ink pumps assembled or partially assembled in North Korea or Russia are prohibited.

The procurement uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation with three factors: technical acceptability (Volume I, 20-page limit, rated Acceptable or Unacceptable), pricing (Volume II, no limitation), and past performance (Volume III, no limitation, requiring at least two recent and relevant references within the past five years). Quotations must be valid for 90 calendar days. Amendment 0001, effective August 27, 2026, revises Sections 4.1, F.1, F.4, and L.3.5 of the solicitation and includes posted responses to vendor questions; offerors must acknowledge receipt of the amendment by the hour and date specified in the solicitation. Contractor responsibility is limited to furnishing and delivering the pumps; no installation, commissioning, or onsite services are required. Shipping costs must be included in pricing, and Graco's standard manufacturer warranty satisfies all warranty requirements.
