About this opportunity
The 23rd Contracting Squadron at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, on behalf of the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, is procuring 24 Katadyn Survivor 06-LL-1 RES water desalinators for emergency life raft kits used by the 41st and 71st Rescue Squadron. These hand-operable desalinators must meet specific technical requirements including a weight of less than 2.5 pounds, dimensions not exceeding 5 inches by 8 inches by 3 inches, the ability to produce at least 5 gallons of water per day, resistance to storage temperatures up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and immediate operational readiness without assembly. The procurement is justified as a sole-source acquisition under Technical Order 14S1-3-51 Chapter 7, which authorizes only this specific model for use in the 347th Operations Support Squadron's life rafts. The solicitation was posted on January 26, 2026, with responses due by February 2, 2026, and this announcement constitutes the only solicitation being issued for this requirement.
This is a Total Small Business set-aside acquisition conducted under simplified acquisition procedures with estimated contract value between the simplified acquisition threshold and $750,000. The Katadyn Survivor 06-LL-1 RES is the sole authorized product per the applicable technical order, as alternative items cannot accommodate the specific life raft configuration used by the 347th OSS. Market research was previously conducted in December 2024 on the Government Point of Entry and GSA schedules with multiple vendors responding. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement to a small business distributor, with the contracting officer having determined pricing as fair and reasonable based on expected competition among small business suppliers. The equipment will be delivered to Bemiss Road, Moody Air Force Base, Georgia 31699, and will serve as emergency fresh water production capability in case of ocean ditching by aircrew members.
