Delaware, OH (March 2, 2023)
The Defense Logistics Agency has assigned T.J. Clark International, LLC National Stock Number (NSN) 4320-01-707-6951 as the manufacturer of record for the US Army’s new 600 Gallon Per Minute (GPM) Fuel Pumping Assembly.
These 600 GPM pump systems are utilized by Combat Support elements of the US Army to distribute fuel in the forward operating battle space. The systems are designed to operate in a broad range of environmental conditions and temperature ranges from the Arctic to the desert.
T.J. Clark’s CEO, Eric Jenkusky, stated, “We are pleased that our team’s efforts to de- sign and manufacture the market leading tactical pump and distribution systems for our nation’s warfighters is being recognized by the US Department of Defense. There are three primary logistical items you need to fight. Those items are fuel, water and ammu- nition. Our systems deliver two of those to the tactical edge.”
That requirement was from 2014, my goodness. The process is still horribly slow. SMH
The requirement was for a solicitation issued in 2022 for the latest revision of MIL-PRF 53051 which is Revision D. That revision was also issued in 2022. In 2014 the Revision was B.
Exactly, the revisions. I remember seeing reps from DOD speaking to a joint group of senior leaders about 600 gallons per min at two different major DOD conferences.
Ensure you keep close tabs with the units that receive your product. Huge problem across DOD. The civilians that put this solicitation out are not the units using and maintaining it.
