Purchase Order SPMYM425P0649

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a $18,340.38 firm fixed-price purchase order to APS Pressure Systems LLC (doing business as Advanced Pressure Systems) on August 14, 2025, for the delivery of three units of MAMBA 32-inch assembly tools. The MAMBA is a specialized high-pressure water jetting lance system designed for marine hull cleaning applications, specifically engineered to remove Marine Impedance Paint from naval vessel exterior hulls using 55,000 PSI water jetting technology. The contract carries an ultimate completion date of August 30, 2025, with performance to be executed at DLA Distribution Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. This procurement originated from a Total Small Business set-aside solicitation posted by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, reflecting the government's preference for small business participation in this critical naval maintenance equipment procurement.

APS Pressure Systems, a small business limited liability company headquartered in Houston, Texas, has established itself as a key supplier to NAVSEA, specializing in high-pressure fluid pumping systems, ultra-high pressure water blasting equipment, and associated components for naval vessel maintenance operations. The company manufactures the MAMBA systems exclusively, and the solicitation documentation reflected a sole-source justification indicating that APS does not permit after-market lances due to safety requirements and lack of approved testing for alternative products. The procurement was evaluated under a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable approach, considering technical capability, estimated time of delivery, and price. No set-aside designation beyond the Total Small Business category was applied to this award.
