Portable Dehumidifier

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard intends to procure three portable dehumidifiers through a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Single Award Contract. The specific equipment is a Portable Dehumidifier manufactured by Innovative Air Technologies (Model IAT-150REC), which features specialized technical specifications including 2.85 KWH electric reactivation, stainless steel construction, and a weatherproof design. This procurement will be solicited as a Sole Source Brand Name award directly to Innovative Air Technologies under FAR Part 13.5 for Commercial Items, with no other manufacturers being considered. Requests for Quote (RFQ) will be available for download on or about May 16, 2025, at SAM.gov, with the primary point of contact being John Eliot Faircloth from NAVSEA's Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA. The procurement falls under NAICS code 333415 for Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment and Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing.

The contract has no specific set-aside designations and is targeted exclusively at Innovative Air Technologies as the sole source vendor. The procurement will be a straightforward acquisition of three portable dehumidification units with precise technical requirements, including 460/3/60 voltage, MERV 8 filter, and a digital dehumidistat. While the exact contract value is not specified in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement represents a targeted, specific equipment acquisition for naval shipyard operations. Vendors and wholesalers of this specific item may be considered, though the contract is effectively sole-sourced to the named manufacturer. Interested parties must monitor SAM.gov for the RFQ, which will be the exclusive method of obtaining solicitation documents, with a response deadline of May 16, 2025.
