Description

As published on SAM.gov.

76 CMXG is requesting the purchase of the following item(s).

1. The addition of an oil-lubricated rotary screw vacuum pump to the existing system, along with an integrated control panel to enable fully redundant operation between the two pumps.

2. The contractor shall provide a complete turnkey solution, including all materials, labor, site preparation, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a fully operable process vacuum system.

3. The requested equipment item descriptions/specifications are outlined below

1.  Vacuum Pump Specifications:

      a. Equipment:
        o Provide a new Quincy QSV-530 rotary screw vacuum pump or equivalent oil-seal screw pump that meets the following         requirements as a minimum.
       o Nominal capacity: 510 CFM.
       o Vacuum range: 18" HgV to 29.9" HgV.
      o Electrical requirements: 480V, 3-phase, 60 Hz.
      o Maximum dimensions: 51" length × 38" width × 44" height (to fit in designated space)
      o Drive system: Electric motor with Variable Speed technology, allowing automatic adjustment of motor speed based on process demand
     o Operating modes (minimum): Medium PI control loop, Slow PI control, Forced Maximum Speed, and Fixed Speed Control, or equivalent
    o Air/oil separation: Oil-separator tank with oil filter; airflow must be cleaned through the air/oil separator filter before discharge
    o Cooling system: Oil cooler
    o Condensate system: Designed to prevent condensate accumulation in the oil separator, extending oil life
    o Inlet valve: Located between the pump and tank; must automatically close during startup when the pump is not yet warmed up, or incorporate an equivalent design to prevent reverse operation
   o Cooling and enclosure: Air-cooled, enclosed in sound-insulated bodywork
   o Monitoring: Real-time trending of pump metrics over a customizable time period, including (at minimum) inlet pressure, motor speed, power consumption, and oil temperature, displayed in graphical format
  o Restart capability: Automatic restart when voltage is restored after a power failure
  o Noise level: Maximum 76 dB

b. Warranty:
   o Include a comprehensive 2-year warranty covering all parts and labor from the successful start-up date.
   o If contractor-performed periodic PM is required to maintain the warranty, all
   o associated service costs must be included in the turnkey package.

2..  Integrated Control System Requirements
     c. Control Features:
         o System must regulate vacuum supply based on real-time demand for optimal energy
efficiency.
       o Implement lead/lag sequencing: primary pump operates under standard
demand; secondary pump engages during scheduled downtime or when additional
capacity is needed.

d. PLC Controller:
     o Must support OPC UA (preferred) or BACnet protocol for transmitting
performance metrics, diagnostics, and alarms to Tinker AFB’s network.
    o Security protocols must comply with ISO 62443
    o Controller must support DHCP for IP address assignment or allow IP
reconfiguration via remote access or on-machine HMI
    o Enable secure wired remote access via Tinker’s intranet; requires RJ45 port into
control system

e. Automation Capabilities:
• Include full building automation functionalities such as:
     o Scheduling
     o Alarm notifications
     o Historical data logging
     o Energy management
     o Custom control routines
     o Tagging, templating, and hierarchical navigation

f. User Interface:
• Equip with an HTML-based touchscreen interface display:
    o Vacuum levels
    o Pump temperature
    o Operational status, power status, fault codes, last shutdown data
    o Elapsed and run hours
    o Audio/visual alarms for exceeding operating thresholds
• All operational health data available on the HMI should be included as data tags

g. Panel Construction:
• All components and wiring must be clearly labeled for ease of maintenance.
• Access to system settings must be secured with user profiles, login credentials, and password
protection.
• Incorporate a protected Emergency Stop push button to prevent accidental
engagement.

3. Project Execution Requirements
h. Installation & Commissioning:

       o Contractor to furnish all labor, equipment (pump, auxiliary components, piping,etc.), materials, and tools.
       o Conduct start-up procedures and full capacity testing to verify operational
readiness.
i. Documentation Deliverables:
• Provide information for PLC Controller:
      o Control System Type
      o Model, Make, Manufacturer
      o Protocol, and Communication port
      o MAC Address
      o OS/iOS/FW Version (if applicable)
      o Host Name
• Provide data tag documentation
     o The name or identifier for each data tag
     o A description of what each data tag represents. (A brief explanation of what the data measures)
     o The data type of each tag. (e.g., Integer, Float, Boolean, String)
     o The units of measurement, if applicable. (e.g., RPM, degrees Celsius, mm

     o The communication protocol (e.g., OPC UA, Modbus TCP, MTConnect,
     o proprietary API)
 Admin: Username/password
 Customer: Username/password (if required)
     o The update frequency or polling rate of each tag (if known)
     o Read-only or read-write status
     o Any supporting documentation or links describing tag usage.
• Provide comprehensive as-built documentation using industry standards:
     o Equipment drawings
     o Factory specifications
     o Catalog cut sheets for all ancillary items
     o Wiring schematics, logic diagrams, interconnect detailsComplete BOM (Bill of Materials)
     o O&M manuals, troubleshooting resources, PM schedules
• Submit both printed and digital formats. All drawings must be provided in .dxf or.dwg format.
Training:
    o Deliver on-site training for operators and maintenance staff.
    o Training must cover system operation and diagnostic interpretation for
preventive maintenance.
