KT Rotary Piston Pumps

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the KT Rotary Piston Pumps requirement.

• Pump Replacement: For vendors quoting a replacement pump, the USG confirmed it is for an existing application and provided the serial number of the current pump (SN: 143411 0810). Vendors should provide pictures of the nameplate or serial number for correct quoting.
• Vacuum Rating: The current vacuum pump is rated to pull 10 microns or 29.92 inches of Mercury (vacuum) at 300 CFM. This is stated as the approximate requirement for the process.

This Q&A may impact how vendors quote replacement pumps and the specifications they need to meet for vacuum performance.

Other / Unclassified (Single Source Justification)

This document is a "Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)" for the procurement of two (2) KT300D Piston Pumps. It outlines the rationale for acquiring these pumps from a single source due to urgency and the specific nature of the requirement.

• Requirement: The government needs two (2) KT300D Piston Pumps for the 402d Maintenance Support Group at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.
• Urgency: The existing machine using this pump is critical for performing metal bond repairs on aircraft flight controls, radomes, and composite panels. Current workarounds are slowing processes and causing delays. The OEM, MD Kinney, is not registered in SAM.gov.
• Sole Source Rationale: The justification cites that MD Kinney (formerly Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems, now owned by Ingersoll Rand) is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The document identifies DXP Enterprises, Inc. as the only OEM authorized reseller for the East Coast region. The recommendation is to award to any authorized reseller/distributor of the MD Kinney brand, Model # KT300-D.
• Market Research: Efforts to find small businesses or other sources through DSBS and SAM.gov yielded zero results. Mandatory sources were also considered but did not meet the requirement.
• Future Competition: The market will be scanned for new companies to preclude future single-source awards.
