Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division Ejector Pump

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division is procuring one Evac EasyFit DN100 Vacuum Ejector system for a research project investigating foaming properties in shipboard vacuum collection, holding, and transfer systems. This sole-source procurement requires a specific brand-name unit to accurately simulate foam-causing factors observed in US Navy vessel sewage systems, with the system needing to include two centrifugal ejector/recirculation pumps, one ejector, vacuum gauge, pressure switch, 316 SS piping, valves, level switches, and a control panel. The procurement supports a NAVSEA 05P5/F research project aimed at evaluating detergent and cleaner foam formation using the exact vacuum ejector system employed in US Navy ships. Vendors must submit quotes on company letterhead including pricing, CAGE code, FOB destination, point of contact information, GSA contract number if applicable, business size certification, and all pricing rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The solicitation deadline is 11:00 AM ET on October 14, 2025, with quotes being evaluated as a firm-fixed price purchase order.

The procurement is set aside for small businesses with a size standard of 1,250 employees under NAICS code 333996 for Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing. The justification memo indicates this is a non-competitive procurement from Evac North America as the sole source supplier, based on the unique requirements that only the Evac brand EasyFit DN100 model can meet the research objectives. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documents, the procurement involves a single unit with delivery required within 32 weeks of contract award. The system will be delivered to Building 60, Room 175 at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in West Bethesda, Maryland. The procurement timeline allows vendors a brief two-week window from the October 2, 2025 posting date to submit their responses by the October 14 deadline.
