2.2 Materials. Unless otherwise specified herein, materials shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications/drawings. The use of recovered materials made in compliance with regulating requirements is acceptable providing that all requirements of this CID are met (see 3.1).
2.3 Design and construction. The oil gun design and construction shall be representative of a standard commercial oil gun with a market acceptability of durability and performance.
2.3.1 Weight. The weight of the empty oil gun shall be not more than 4 pounds (lb) (1.7 kilogram (kg)).
2.3.2 Body and handle assembly. The body and handle shall be any metallic or non-metallic rigid material(s) which assure product resistance to cracking, leaking, corrosion, chipping or flaking during its normal service life. The handle shall be the pistol or modified pistol-grip type, designed to allow easy handling and one-hand operation.
2.3.3 Air control valve. The air control valve shall be corrosion-resistant metal, alloy, non-metal, or equipment composite materials and shall be built into the body of the oil gun. The valve shall be actuated by a button or trigger located as to be convenient to the operator’s thumb or index finger.
2.3.4 Air adjustment valve. The air adjustment valve shall be metal corrosion-resistant metal, alloy, non-metal, or equivalent composite materials and be located as to be convenient to operate. The valve shall be designed to allow for adjustment of air pressure ranging from line pressure of 50 pounds per square inch gage (psig) (344 kilopascal (kPa)) to minimum operating pressure.
2.3.5 Container cover. The container cover shall be flat, recessed surface, built into the underside of the gun body and threaded internally to accommodate the threaded neck of the fluid container. A gasket shall be provided to ensure a leakproof connection.
2.3.6 Air inlet. The air inlet shall be located on the bottom or the back of the oil gun handle or grip.
Met shall be threaded with a 1/4-18 NPSM pipe thread.
2.3.7 Fluid container. The fluid container shall have a nominal capacity of 1 quart (0.95 liter (L)) and shall be corrosion-resistant metal, alloy, non-metal, or equivalent composite. The neck of the container shall be large enough to assure easy filling and shall be threaded on the outside. A small vent hole shall be provided in the top of the container or in the container cover portion of the gun body.
2.3.8 Barrel. The barrel shall be corrosion-resist.ant metal, alloy, non-metal, or equivalent composite materials of rigid construction, not less than 10 inch (254 millimeters (mm)) in length, and shall be secured to the body by a means of soldering, brazing, or a knurled retaining nut.

2.3.9 Nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly shall be adjustable to control the flow of fluid and the degree of atomization from a fine spray or mist to a coarse spray of oil. The nozzle shall be brass, and shall be designed in such manner to allow easy adjustment without the use of tools. The sides of the nozzle shall be perforated, or other safety devices installed, to prevent oil/air pressure injury to personnel.
2.4 Endurance. The oil gun shall withstand, without damage, 10,000 full trigger strokes at an operating pressure of 50 psig (344 kPa) within a 40 hour period. Upon completion of the 10,000 cycle, the oil gun air valve shall hold entrapped air pressure of 100 psig (690 kPa) for a period of not less than one minute with no more than 5 psig (34.5 kPa) pressure loss.
2.5 Operation. The oil gun shall spray in varying degrees of atomization as described in 2.3.9 with oils within a viscosity range of SAE 5W to SAE 30 inclusive, at temperatures ranging from +80”F to -20°F. The oil gun shall operate throughout its spray range with no evidence of malfunction, leakage, distorted spray pattern, or damage.
2.6 Identification marking. Unless otherwise specified m the contractor order (see 6.2), the oil gun shall be marked with the National Stock Number (NSN) and the manufacturer’s identification code (corporate logo or commercial brand name). Marking shall be permanent and legible (see 6.2).
3. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
3.1 Recovered material. The offeror/contractor is encouraged to use recovered materials to the maximum extent practicable in accordance with paragraph 23.402 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1 Responsibility for inspection. The contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspections (examinations and tests).
4.2 Contractor certification. The contractor shall certify and maintain substantiating evidence that the product offered meets the salient characteristics of this CID and that the product conforms to the producer’s own drawings, specifications, workmanship standards and quality assurance practices. Items with known defects shall not be submitted for Government acceptance The Government reserves the right to require proof of such conformance prior to the first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contract.
