RETREAD TIRES
The U.S. General Services administration,
Automotive Commodity Center's Federal Tire
Program has developed a facility quality
assurance program under its retread tire
procurement process. The program is called
Quality Assurance Facility Inspection
Program (QAFIP) and is designed to help
insure the quality of retread tires and tire
retreading services. While QAFIP was
developed principally to insure the quality of
retread tires and retreading services purchased
by the Federal government, use of QAFEP-
certified facilities will also insure the quality of
the retread tires or retreading services
purchased by non-Federal entities.
Under the QAFIP, the Federal Tire Program
has defined a performance standard for a
quality assurance program and certifies retread
tire industry associations and companies to
conduct retread tire facility inspections. In
other words, the QAFIP uses the government-
certified quality assurance program of a
retread tire industry association or retread tire
company. The association or company
inspects and certifies the retread facility and is
responsible for monitoring of retread facilities
under the QAFIP. Facilities that have
successfully completed a QAFIP certification
will receive a "Retread Facility Certification"
form, which will be kept on file at the retread
facility, the association or company's
headquarters, and the Federal Tire Program.
Government procurement offices can contact
the Federal Tire Program or the association or
company for verification of the certification of
the inspecting association/company under the
QAFIP.
The Federal Tire Program will monitor
implementation of the QAFIP and the facility
certifications issued by the associations and
companies. If it is found that the standards of
the QAFIP certification are not being met, the
QAFIP certification will be terminated for that
particular association or company for that
particular certification period. The association
or company must wait one year before re-
applying for certification of its quality
assurance program.
Following is a list of the government-certified
associations and companies. Please contact
them for a list of the QAFIP-certified retread
facilities hi your area. It is recommended that
proof of QAFIP certification is required from
the retread dealer(s) prior to issuance of a
contract.
For further details on the QAFIP certification
program, contact Ken Ceilings, Manager,
Federal Tire Program, U.S. General Services
Administration, Automotive Commodity Center
(FCAE), Washington, DC 20406, (703) 308-
4673.

ENGINE COOLANTS
Engine coolant recycling methods include 1)
power flushing the radiator and then restoring
the coolant to the vehicle, 2) collecting coolant
for bulk recycling, 3) on-site servicing by a
mobile unit which restores and sells back the
recycled coolant to the customer, or 4) shipping
the coolant to a central service center (the
shipper must-be prepared to bear the costs of
clean-up should a spill occur). Some suppliers
of on-site engine coolant recycling equipment
and theur products are listed below. There are a
variety of processing methods whose costs and
capacities vary greatly. Therefore, careful
consideration should be given to unit and
operating cost information provided below so
that equipment purchases can be tailored to
agency needs. Since no industry-wide standards
exist for recycling equipment, the quality of the
recycled product should be the final determinant.
In making such determinations, several factors
should be considered. They include: does the
equipment have an acceptable "inhibitor balance"
to prevent corrosion in customer vehicles; what
hazardous waste byproducts are produced as a
result of the process; and how can those
byproducts be safely disposed (and what is the
additional cost of that disposal). Assessing
available equipment was beyond the scope of this
study. However, between 1990 and 1992,
General Motors investigated several anti-freeze
recycling processing units for use hi GM
warranty work. Wayne Bradley, a senior
product engineer for GM STG, provided a list of
six approved on-site machines (provided below)
which emerged from their analysis. His report
can be obtained through SEA Papers at (412)
776-4841, No. 921634 for $5. Also, included
are FPPF and Marubeni products since they can
provide evidence of their rigorous testing
programs. GSA-listed High Tech products are
also provided.
