NOAA is seeking a small-business contractor to replace and upgrade the saltwater pumping and electrical infrastructure at its Milford, Connecticut, fisheries laboratory.
- **Government buyer:** Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC), Milford Laboratory; solicitation issued through NOAA’s Western Acquisition Division, Seattle-SAP.
- **OEMs and named manufacturers:** **Vanton** pumps; **WEG** variable frequency drives (VFDs); **Kobold** pressure sensors; **ACUAMP** current transducers; **GE** breakers; and **Hubbell** or **Leviton** disconnects (or approved equivalents).
- **Major equipment:** 2 Vanton 10 HP pumps, part CGA-PY3X2X6-OP (A-10); 2 Vanton 15 HP pumps, part CGA-KY4X3X10-OP (A-70); 2 WEG 10 HP NEMA 4X VFDs; 2 WEG 15 HP NEMA 4X VFDs; 4 NEMA 4X disconnects; 6 Kobold pressure sensor/box units (4 installed and 2 spares); 4 ACUAMP 3ACT current transducers; and 2 GE TED breakers.
- **Other materials:** 1 NEMA 4X wire trough, 1 NEMA 4X relay enclosure, 1 NEMA 4X button enclosure, 1 LED fixture, LED bulbs for existing local fixtures, and 2 spare pump impellers (one for each pump model). Part numbers are not provided for these items unless noted above.
- **Services:** Decommission and remove existing pumping, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure; furnish and install the replacement system and supporting components; upgrade wiring; configure local VFD speed controls; and test and commission the system.
- **Notable requirements:** Equivalent equipment is permitted where stated. Pump assemblies require a five-year comprehensive warranty. Materials must be on site and verified before the shutdown; the installation shutdown is limited to 10 days, and work should maintain seawater service by replacing pumps one at a time where possible. The 15 HP pump material descriptions mention polypropylene, but the SOW also states that pump materials cannot be polypropylene; this specification conflict should be clarified.
- **Amendment update:** Amendment 0001 was issued, and the RFI tracker was updated. The amendment also updates the wage determination and includes Q&A; the supplied information does not describe a change to the technical scope.

### Description

<p>Amendment 0001 to Seawater pump renovation at the oyster breeding center, electrical and plumbing components present. See attached Statement of Work for details.</p>
