The Naval Supply Systems Command seeks fabrication, testing, and delivery of six demineralizer pressure vessels, with offers due May 7, 2026 at 1:00 PM. This is a total small business set-aside; the source identifies it as a women-owned small business (WOSB) solicitation.

Place of performance is Bremerton, Washington. Each demineralizer must be a pressure vessel with a 24-inch outer diameter, design pressure of 29 inches Hg to 150 PSI, design temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and design flow rate of 25 GPM with maximum differential pressure drop of 5 PSID. Vessels must be constructed to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code standards, internally built from 300 Series stainless steel, preloaded with 3.5 cubic feet each of HOH resin and granular activated carbon, equipped with three Hansen quick disconnect fittings, include a 6-inch steel shielding cap, and feature lifting provisions via two tapped holes rated for 2,500 pounds combined working load limit. All deliverables include a leakproof skirt, OSHA material safety warnings, and comprehensive testing documentation. Critical testing requirements include hydrostatic testing at 165 psig (5 minutes for quick disconnects, 30 minutes for complete assembly), proof load testing of lifting holes at 3,750 pounds, and magnetic particle inspection around tapped holes. Requested delivery is August 28, 2026.

Unit pricing must include all shipping and freight charges on an FOB Destination basis; quotes based on FOB Origin will be rejected.
