About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, specifically Moody AFB, is conducting market research to identify potential vendors capable of supplying 16 Life Raft Survival Desalinators. The equipment must meet precise technical specifications, including being hand-operable, weighing less than 2.5 lbs, measuring under 5"x8"x3", and capable of withstanding storage temperatures up to 110 degrees F. These desalinators are required to produce a minimum of 5 gallons of water per day and be immediately operational upon deployment. The solicitation references Technical Order 14S1-3-51 Chapter 7, which suggests potential brand name requirements for the equipment. While this is a sources sought notice and not a formal competitive proposal request, interested vendors are invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration. All questions or communications regarding this opportunity should be directed to Contract Specialist SrA Kevin Goris via email by December 17, 2024.
The pre-solicitation notice is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, indicating that only small businesses are eligible to compete for this contract. The procurement falls under the Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing NAICS category (333310) and the Water Purification Equipment PSC category (4610). No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the document, and the notice explicitly states that no award is guaranteed as this is purely a market research initiative. The required desalinators will be integrated into life raft survival kits, with specifications drawn from detailed technical orders that outline comprehensive survival equipment requirements. While the exact timeline for potential procurement is not specified, the sources sought period closes on December 17, 2024, suggesting this is an initial phase of market exploration for the required equipment.
