Dehumidifiers

The Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command, specifically Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Puget Sound, is seeking to procure 400 Hisense dehumidifiers for Unaccompanied Housing operations to control humidity in both occupied and vacant rooms. The solicitation requires the specific Hisense AHD5024KP1G model or equivalent, featuring a 50-pint tank capacity, 115V/60Hz electrical power, black color, and precise dimensions of 384(W) x 272(D) x 629(H) mm with a 10% tolerance allowance. This Request for Quote (RFQ) will be evaluated based on technical factors including delivery date, price, and past performance history of offerors. All potential contractors must maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and demonstrate compliance with federal contracting requirements encompassing small business provisions, labor standards, and supply chain security protocols. The solicitation was posted on August 28, 2025, with responses due by September 5, 2025, providing contractors with a tight eight-day window for proposal submission.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a set-aside specifically for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) enterprises, falling under the broader Total Small Business classification and the NAICS code 335210 for Small Electrical Appliance Manufacturing. The contract requires delivery of all 400 dehumidifiers to CFAY Yokosuka Housing Services Center, specifically to Building J203, by August 31, 2025, indicating an extremely expedited delivery timeline that precedes the proposal due date. The place of performance is located at the Yokosuka naval facility in Japan, suggesting this procurement supports overseas military housing operations. While the solicitation documents do not specify exact award values or identify current incumbents, the brand name or equal requirement for Hisense equipment indicates the government has established performance standards based on this particular manufacturer's specifications. The compressed timeline between proposal submission and required delivery suggests this may be an urgent replacement or expansion of existing dehumidification capabilities at the facility.
