WDFW: Vertical Axial Flow Pump

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for four vertical axial flow pumps, specifically seeking two 2240 GPM pumps, one 3369 GPM pump, and one 1250 GPM pump designed for high-flow, low-head applications with 12 ft total dynamic head. These industrial pumps require specific technical specifications, including single-stage models with product-lubed open line shafts, 316 or 416 stainless steel line shafts, aluminum bronze wear rings, and line shaft bearings. Motor requirements include 10HP to 20HP configurations powered by 460V, 60Hz, 3-phase electricity. The solicitation is located in Thurston County and requires delivery to 6420 Carpenter Road SE in Lacey, Washington by June 30th, 2025. The quotation submission deadline is April 3rd, 2025 at 12 PM PST, with vendors required to be registered in the Statewide Vendor Payment System and capable of meeting Build America Buy America Act compliance requirements.

The RFQ includes specific set-aside preferences for small businesses and veteran-owned businesses, with a priority on awarding to these categories if they submit the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Vendors must avoid products containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and provide packaging without color or dyes. The solicitation allows for potential future purchase orders under the same terms within one year of the award, with Washington State sales tax to be added to the final billing invoice. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves multiple pumps with varying specifications and motor sizes. The contract emphasizes domestic production, requiring that iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials be produced in the United States. Vendors will be paid upon satisfactory delivery and acceptance of the specified pumps, with the potential for expanded procurement within the year following the initial award.
