Temp Dehumidification System - PNSY

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is seeking to lease a temporary dehumidification system package to support mission operations. The solicitation requires vendors to provide either four Desiccant Climate Controlled Units (DCCUs) at 10,000 CFM each or three DCCUs at 15,000 CFM each, along with a 230-ton air-cooled chiller, chilled water pump, hose assemblies, manifolds, and associated controls. Key requirements include comprehensive contractor services such as equipment delivery, start-up and commissioning, preventative maintenance, training, and technical documentation, with strict security protocols mandating U.S. citizenship for contractor personnel and adherence to naval shipyard access procedures. Evaluation will be based on technical acceptability, past performance, and price, with award to be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror using firm-fixed pricing. The current solicitation due date is November 21, 2025 at 9:00 AM EST, following two amendments that extended the original October 31, 2025 deadline.

The procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors. The performance period runs from February 18, 2026 through May 9, 2028, inclusive of options, spanning approximately 88 weeks across three cooling seasons with flexibility to extend or decrease lease duration as required by the project. Performance will take place at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, with no site visit planned for the requirement. The solicitation includes multiple contract line items (CLINs) covering system packages for primary and alternate schedules, freight costs, and associated data requirements. Potential offerors must submit technical proposals demonstrating compliance with the Statement of Work, past performance information on relevant contracts completed within the last three years, and firm-fixed pricing supported by recent sales information to justify price reasonableness.
