High Quality Water & Demineralized Feedwater

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is conducting market research for a comprehensive water treatment services contract covering both high quality water and demineralized feedwater requirements at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) and Naval Operations Base Norfolk (NOB). The procurement seeks a single award Firm Fixed Price contract for the rental, delivery, operation, and regeneration of mobile demineralizer rigs and water treatment trailer systems, with contractors required to provide 24/7 technician support, on-site operators, and ensure all personnel are United States citizens. The contract will combine two separate Statements of Work under NAICS code 532490 with a $40 million size standard, and the government plans to conduct full and open competition based on market research responses. Interested parties must submit detailed responses including organizational details, rough order of magnitude estimates, capability statements, and contract administration approaches by 12 NOON EST on June 23, 2025. The performance period is expected to begin no later than April 5, 2026, with an estimated contract duration from April 6, 2025 through April 5, 2030.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and encourages responses from businesses of all sizes, with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The contract involves significant operational capacity requirements, including an estimated 4 demineralizer rigs at NNSY and 6 rigs at NOB Norfolk, processing a maximum of 16,500 gallons daily and 6,022,500 gallons yearly for the high quality water component. The demineralized feedwater portion requires trailer systems capable of processing a minimum of 80,000 gallons without regeneration, with an estimated 1,920,000 total gallons to be processed yearly and a maximum of ten simultaneous systems operating at up to 200 GPM flow rates. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the $40 million NAICS size standard suggests substantial procurement value, and the five-year performance period with base year plus four option years indicates a long-term service commitment. The water treatment systems must meet stringent quality specifications including specific conductivity, pH, and chemical composition requirements for both naval shipyard and operations base applications.
