TEIKOKU/CHEMPUMP, G-SERIES, MANUFACTURER’S P/N GC-3K-3S. Brand Name Mandatory. Q&A Updated 4/27/26

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document addresses vendor questions regarding pump model GC-3K-3S for solicitation N3904026Q5450.

• Pump Identification: The model number alone is insufficient for quotation. Teikoku requires either the original pump's serial number (potentially found on the nameplate or in the SOW) or the original purchase order number to identify the specific pump configuration, including NDE, construction, and testing requirements.
• Quotation Limitation: Without the serial number or purchase order number, Teikoku cannot provide a definitive quote as the scope of supply is not fully defined.

These questions have been forwarded to the Technical Point of Contact (POC), and the Q&A Sheet will be updated upon receiving a response. Bidders should monitor for updates to the Q&A Sheet for further clarification on pump specifications and quotation requirements.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document contains a question from a potential vendor (Teikoku) regarding a specific pump model (GC-3K-3S) and the information required to provide a quotation. The government is awaiting input from the Technical Point of Contact (POC) to provide a definitive answer.

• Vendor Request: Teikoku requires more information than just the pump model number (GC-3K-3K) to provide a quotation. They need details on NDE requirements, construction requirements, testing requirements, etc.
• Information Needed: To define the scope of supply, Teikoku requests either:
  • The serial number of the original pump supply (suspected to be derivable from the model number and impeller trim detailed in the SOW, or visible on the pump's nameplate).
  • If the serial number is unavailable, the original purchase order number for the pump supply.
• Current Status: The questions have been forwarded to the Technical POC, and the Q&A sheet will be updated upon receiving their response.

This Q&A indicates that further clarification is needed to fully define the scope of supply for the pump. Bidders should monitor for updates to this Q&A sheet, as the provided answers may impact their understanding of the requirements and their ability to submit a compliant quotation.
