Pump, Triplex, HP

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for a high-pressure triplex pump (NSN 4320-01-351-8586) used in the 3K Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU). The pump is a critical component designed to push pre-treated water through reverse osmosis membranes at 1,000 pounds per square inch (psi) with a flow rate of 101 gallons per minute. Interested vendors must email Jon Machacek at jon.machacek@dla.mil to express their capabilities and be considered for the Source Approval Program. The pump specifications require a corrosion-resistant nickel aluminum bronze material suitable for saltwater operations, specifically manufactured by Crane Pumps and Systems (CAGE: 1XLG4). Potential suppliers must understand that this is a pre-solicitation notice, and qualification testing and evaluation are mandatory to become an approved source.

This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category, and the current solicitation is for 6 units with a 100% option. The procurement falls under NAICS category 333914 for Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 4320 for Power and Hand Pumps. Importantly, source approval does not guarantee future business, but rather provides an opportunity to compete in subsequent solicitations. The response deadline is February 18, 2025, and vendors must be prepared to undergo comprehensive technical evaluation. The government currently does not possess technical data for this item, which means potential suppliers will need to demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities and compliance with precise pump specifications.
