Parker Hannifin/Village Marine Reverse Osmosis Water Maker

The requirement is to purchase two (2) Reverse Osmosis (R/O) Water Makers. One will be used to support the USCGC OAK (WLB-211), a 225 foot Sea-going Buoy Tender during its depot level maintenance availability and the other R/O Water Maker will be stocked as a spare to be utilized for
the next availability. The vessels WLB-225, WMEC-210, WMEC-270 and WPB-110 USCG Cutters use the R/O Water Maker to provide potable water to the crew so they may be able to sustain themselves in extended periods of time away from port. It is critical that the R/O Water Maker is operating properly for the ship to be able to get underway and perform their missions.
