DBEH 24-1588 Repair Sewage Treatment Equipment

The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking to procure and install an integrated headworks combined rag and grit removal system for the Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This pre-solicitation notice is classified under NAICS Code 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC Code N046 (Installation of Equipment—Water Purification and Sewage Treatment Equipment). The new system must replace two existing failing units—a JWC Muffin Monster rag removal system and a Pista-Grit grit removal system—with a single comprehensive unit that screens to 2mm without blinding and removes particulate matter, rags, and grit. The equipment must fit within the constrained installation space of 6 feet 4 inches wide by 23 feet long, operate on two separate 15-amp, 3-phase, 20-gauge power feeds, and include all necessary valves, piping, and appurtenances for integration into the existing facility infrastructure. Key contractor responsibilities include obtaining a Florida Department of Environmental Protection permit revision, demolishing and removing existing equipment while maintaining operational continuity, commissioning the new system with manufacturer field services for a minimum of two days, and providing biweekly progress reports, as-built drawings, and final closeout documentation. The Government is currently conducting a Request for Information seeking sources, with responses due by 1:00 PM Eastern on April 15, 2026, and must not exceed five pages; all respondents must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for future contract award.

This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors meeting the small business size standard of 1,000 employees under NAICS 333310. Current market research indicates the Or-Tec "Constant Current Grit System" (CGS200) meets the salient characteristics of the requirement, though the Government is actively seeking information on alternative vendors through this sources sought notice. The total contract value and award amount are not specified in the pre-solicitation documentation provided. The project has a performance period of 259 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, and contractors must submit a complete Florida Department of Environmental Protection Permit Revision Application Package with a Professional Engineer's stamp at least 90 days before construction commences. Interested vendors should reference RFI #FA252126QA001 in all submissions to ray.scott.4@spaceforce.mil and include company business size, business status (such as 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or EDWOSB), teaming arrangements, commercial sales examples, product specifications, and clarification of manufacturer versus supplier status.
