About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy Harare, a civilian agency of the Department of State, issued a sole source modification justification notice on December 3, 2025, for an increase to its existing bulk potable water delivery contract with Orca Water (operating as Mayfort Milling) under contract number 19Z11523D0002. The modification seeks to expand water supply quantities by 23,059,400 liters to address critical water shortages affecting the embassy's official residences, caused by aging infrastructure, water source contamination, and increased household demand in Harare that has left residents without tap water for extended periods. The embassy determined that Orca Water is the sole viable supplier capable of meeting its requirements, as an informal market survey revealed that most local water delivery companies lack proper registration, rely on contaminated water sources, or operate with unacceptable delivery vehicles. The contract modification will increase the total contract ceiling from $1,724,503.50 to $2,048,111.51, with an effective award date of February 20, 2025. Orca Water's qualification as the sole source provider is supported by its existing security clearances, customized equipment, laboratory-tested water supply, and dedicated water source for diplomatic missions that mitigates disruption risks during drought conditions.
