That prior award included the same NFES 0145 pump hand primers, NFES 0228 automatic check and bleeder valves, and NFES 0229 pressure relief valves, which are the same item categories being procured here for compatibility with WATERAX MARK-3 and Mercedes Textiles Wick fire pumps. The current RFQ’s quantities and delivery to the NRK cache suggest a continuation of the same supply requirement for these specific pump attachments.
