About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Oregon Army National Guard intends to procure Katadyn Manual Reverse Osmosis Desalinator units under a Total Small Business set-aside, with a pre-solicitation response due by June 23, 2026.
The device must produce at least 1 liter per hour of potable water from seawater while operating manually with no external power requirement. Dimensional constraints are strict: units must fit within a compact rucksack footprint measuring 2.5 inches tall (flat), 16.5 inches long, and 12 inches wide, and must convert 11.5 to 15.5 cups of salt water to potable water daily. The reverse osmosis system must meet Technical Order 14S1-3-51 table 7-10 as an optional component for the ACES II survival kit.
The desalinator must withstand saltwater immersion, high pressure, and rough handling, require minimal maintenance, and survive storage in harsh environments. Regulatory certification for survival raft use—such as FAA or NSN assignment—is mandatory. Commercial camping filters and consumer desalination systems do not meet the reverse osmosis capacity, durability, and certification requirements. Long lead items include patented RO membranes and specialized seals.
NAICS 423910 (Sporting and Recreational Goods and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers) and PSC 4610 (Water Purification Equipment) apply.
