INTENSIFIER, 15,000 PSI,HARWOOD ENGINEERING CO., INC. P/N #DA4-6-1.375B-15K, NO SUBSTITUTES.

This contract, solicitation number W911PT-20-P-0150, was awarded by the Department of Defense through the Watervliet Arsenal for the procurement of one liquid service intensifier. The specific equipment required is Harwood Engineering Co., Inc. part number DA4-6-1.375B-15K, featuring a maximum service pressure of 15,000 PSI, dimensions of 6 by 6 by 38-1/4 inches, an intensification ratio of approximately 6.8:1, and a high pressure discharge displacement of 8.9 cubic inches per stroke. Due to the proprietary nature of the technical data, the item was acquired as a sole source procurement from the original equipment manufacturer, with no substitutes permitted. The acquisition was designated as an urgent requirement to replace a leaking unit critical to the pressure testing of 105MM, 120MM, and 155MM component breech blocks. Failure to secure this replacement would have halted the delivery of essential cannon systems to the field. The procurement was managed by the Office of the Department of the Army in Watervliet, New York, under NAICS code 334519.
