USCG Honolulu Wastewater Evaporator

The US Coast Guard is procuring wastewater evaporators for bilge water processing at their Hawaii stations through this solicitation notice. The procurement requires either 2 or 3 units (there appears to be conflicting information in the description) of stainless steel evaporators with specific technical requirements including batch/run-dry operation, 240V electric power, 20-gallon maximum tank capacity, and evaporation rates up to 2 gallons per minute. Each unit must include an exhaust fan and stainless steel stand, with size restrictions not exceeding 32"x32"x42" excluding the stand, and no sewer connection is required. The evaluation will be conducted using lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with the Coast Guard expressing a strong preference for vendors with local presence in Hawaii. Quotes must be submitted by July 28, 2025, with delivery required by September 30, 2025, and vendors must include shipping costs and any credit card processing fees in their proposals.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the opportunity notice. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed, the procurement involves delivering equipment to three Coast Guard facilities: Station Maui in Wailuku, Station Kauai in Lihue, and Base Honolulu. The equipment must be delivered to these Hawaiian locations by the specified September 2025 deadline. Vendors are required to submit equivalent items for acceptance prior to proposal submission and must provide realistic delivery dates for getting the equipment to the islands, acknowledging the logistical challenges of shipping to Hawaii.
