Sole Source to Consolidated Water Group, LLC for Centrifugal Pumps & Refurbish Hot Tank Kettle System per attachments

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure centrifugal pumps and refurbishment services for a hot tank kettle system through a sole source contract. Specifically, the procurement includes three GL 100MSIE4DO 1 HP stainless steel centrifugal pumps, CPVC pipe and fittings, and associated labor to rebuild the Grade B Hot Water Kettle Pipe System for the Naval Experimental Diving Unit's Class 6 Oxygen Clean Room. The contract is being awarded on a best value basis, with evaluation criteria including price, delivery, quality, and past performance. Interested vendors must submit quotes by January 21, 2026, and include supporting documentation consisting of a capabilities statement, proof of past performance for similar work, and their CAGE code. The requirement has been synopsized on sam.gov, and all quotes submitted by the close date will be reviewed regardless of the sole source designation.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement. Consolidated Water Group, LLC (doing business as Culligan) is the designated sole source awardee, as their equipment is already installed throughout the facility and they are the only approved vendor certified by the Navy's certification authority. The current water system is only 33% functional and must be replaced to meet stringent contamination requirements of less than 5 parts per million for Grade B water used in diving and life support equipment cleaning in high-pressure pure oxygen environments. Work must be performed in Panama City Beach, Florida, with delivery and installation occurring between 0830 and 1500 hours Monday through Friday, with no deliveries accepted on weekends or federal holidays. The contract specialist for this procurement is Kaitlin Summerville, and all contract administration functions will be retained by the Procuring Contracting Officer.
