The Naval Supply Systems Command has awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $15,664.32 to Potomac River Enterprise Solutions LLC (doing business as Pres), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, to demilitarize two military aircraft at the Naval Air Technical Training Center in Pensacola, Florida. This Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside contract, awarded on August 14, 2025, requires comprehensive demilitarization services including the removal of hazardous materials, draining of fuel and hydraulic systems, disconnection of weapons and electrical systems, and proper disposal of materials in compliance with safety and environmental regulations. The work encompasses detailed inspections and radiological surveys of the two stricken aircraft to prepare them for training purposes, with all tasks to be completed by October 31, 2025.
Pres brings specialized expertise in aircraft demilitarization and preservation, with a track record of supporting the Navy's Safe for Display program through prior contract awards totaling approximately $776,000 in aggregate value. The contractor must commence work within 30 days of award and complete demilitarization within 60 calendar days, underscoring the time-sensitive nature of this procurement. All work will be performed in-house at the Pensacola facility, with the contractor responsible for providing all necessary materials and resources while maintaining compliance with safety, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Environmental Protection guidelines.
