The contract falls under Product Service Code J046 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment—Water Purification and Sewage Treatment Equipment) and NAICS Code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). The sole source determination has been made in accordance with FAR 13.5, meaning the government has determined that HydroMax is the only responsible source capable of meeting the requirement. This notice provides the contracting community with an opportunity to submit comments or provide contrary evidence prior to final award.
The purpose of this contract is to secure repair and replacement services for the WFI system pump at WRAIR's Pilot Bioproduction Facility, along with emergency services support to maintain operational capability. The deadline for interested parties to submit information or objections is December 29, 2025, providing a seven-day period from the posting date for contractors to present alternative sources or rebut the sole source justification. While the notice specifies HydroMax, Inc. as the sole source provider based on the government's Minimum Essential Characteristics (MECs), the contracting opportunity remains open to public comment during the protest period. Contractors seeking to challenge this determination or provide evidence of their capability to perform the work must do so by the stated due date. The award will proceed on a sole source basis unless the government receives and accepts sufficient evidence establishing that other responsible sources exist capable of meeting the defined requirements.
