Heat Exchangers for the Watervliet Arsenal W911PT24P0058
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 28, 2025A sole-source purchase was awarded to Westchester Plastics LLC (Niche Fluoropolymer) for Ametek heat exchangers to support an urgent repair across the chromium plating facility, with the goal of reducing the likelihood of a production halt across all large caliber cannon barrels produced. The heat exchangers must be the same Ametek model currently in use to ensure proper fit, form, function, and safety.
Switching to a different heat exchanger would require reworking existing infrastructure, add significant cost, and cause unacceptable downtime. The Ametek heat exchangers are identified as the only suitable option at this time.
The requirement was not competed, as it was a sole source with Westchester Plastics (Niche Fluoropolymer) due to aspects such as: the current events in Eastern Europe, the urgent repair project across the entire major chromium plating facility, and the ability to reduce the likelihood of a production halt across all large caliber cannon barrels produced. This is the same model that is currently being used. Using a different heat exchanger would require the need to rework current infrastructure adding significant cost and creating unacceptable downtime to production. To ensure proper fit, form and function and ensure all safety measures remain in place Ametek Heat Exchangers are the only suitable option at this time.
