Water Distillation Equipment, Marine And Industrial

PSC 4620 covers Water Distillation Equipment for Marine and Industrial applications, encompassing a wide range of specialized water processing and purification technologies. These include distillation units, desalinators, mist eliminators, salinity detection cells, water softeners, and related components critical for maritime, military, and industrial operations. The equipment supports water treatment, purification, monitoring, and generation of potable water in challenging environments such as naval vessels, marine facilities, and remote locations.

Federal contract awards under this PSC category predominantly involve the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Naval Supply Systems Command, and Department of State, with contract values typically ranging from $5,000 to $250,000. Frequent awardees include Marine Electric Systems Inc., Aqua-Chem Inc., Integrated Procurement Technologies, and Mesys, who provide specialized maritime and industrial water processing equipment. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with completion dates between 6-12 months. While many contracts are unrestricted, some utilize total small business set-asides, particularly for smaller quantities of specialized components. Performance locations are predominantly in the continental United States, with delivery points including naval shipyards, military bases, and distribution centers.

Recent federal contract opportunities include solicitations for specific water processing technologies such as reverse osmosis desalinators for Dry Tortugas National Park, mist eliminators for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, salinity detection cells for the Naval Supply Systems Command, and water softener systems for the Air Force Sustainment Center. These opportunities demonstrate a continued need for specialized water treatment equipment across various federal agencies. Most solicitations are structured as competitive procurements, with some designated as small business set-asides, and typically require detailed technical specifications, compliance with military standards, and precise manufacturing requirements.
