The document outlines a brand name justification for acquiring a portable emergency coolant filling system from 168 Manufacturing to support seven CNC machines at NFPC. The system, specifically the FS40 Central pump, is essential for maintaining coolant levels and concentrations, preventing evaporation and runoff. It can monitor up to 56 machines from a distance of 750 feet. The justification includes a breakdown of required parts, their quantities, and estimated costs. 168 Manufacturing is identified as the sole U.S. provider capable of fulfilling this requirement, with local distribution.
