About this opportunity
Joint Base Charleston, located in Charleston, South Carolina, is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operation and maintenance services for the Joint Base Charleston-Weapon Station Short Stay Recreational Area on Lake Moultrie in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. This pre-solicitation notice is issued by the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command for market research purposes only, and responses will inform the government's subsequent acquisition decisions but will not constitute adequate responses to any future formal solicitation. The contractor must manage all aspects of a Pro-Water Systems C-30-HS model treatment facility with a design flow of 30,000 gallons per day, including the water distribution system, wastewater collection system, and RV dump station, maintaining 24/7/365 operations with preventative maintenance, repairs, water quality testing, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations including Air Force Instructions and NPDES permit SCG570000. The contractor must demonstrate capability to provide these services and submit responses via email to the listed government contacts by Wednesday, February 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, including company information, point of contact details, and demonstration of qualifications. Evaluation criteria will focus on contractor capability to maintain all systems in constant operational status while meeting stringent compliance requirements and service response times.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only qualified small businesses may respond. The Performance Work Statement indicates no current incumbent is identified, establishing this as a new contract requirement. The facility consists of 24,146 linear feet of water distribution pipe with three backflow preventers, 2,515 feet of wastewater collection piping with 17 manholes, and two 7,500-gallon RV dump station holding tanks for a combined capacity of 15,000 gallons. The contractor must maintain a South Carolina Group B-B (or higher) certified WWTP operator on-site during normal operating hours (0730-1700) with after-hours availability, perform emergency response within one hour with remedy completion within 24 hours, and conduct routine corrective maintenance within 30 days. The base year contract includes estimated bi-annual pump-out services of 460,000 gallons annually, with subsequent option years requiring 200,000 gallons of pump-and-haul services; service calls up to $500 are included at no additional cost, with costs above that threshold requiring written quotes and government approval.
