Wastewater Deliveries

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is procuring wastewater delivery services through a sole source procurement to Magnolia Plumbing for continued hauling of graywater and blackwater for laboratory evaluation of shipboard wastewater treatment systems. The services involve collecting approximately 2,500-gallon loads of wastewater from various sources including UniFirst in Hyattsville, MD, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Joint Base Andrews, Fort George G. Meade, Montgomery County Schools, Little Patuxent Water Reclamation Plant, and Noman M. Cole Jr. Pollution Control Plant, then delivering them to the NSWCCD laboratory. Contractors must possess specialized equipment including a 2,500-gallon capacity truck with pumping capability to 15 feet height, maintain certification and licensing to transport wastewater across multiple jurisdictions, and adhere to strict cleanliness standards to prevent contamination. While this is intended as a sole source award, interested parties may submit capabilities statements by 10:00 AM EDT on Thursday, August 14, 2025. The justification for sole source procurement is based on Magnolia Plumbing's proven performance, having successfully delivered 61 loads under previous contracts since November 2022, while other vendors failed to provide acceptable water quality due to chemical residue, grease contamination, and excessive debris.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and identifies Magnolia Plumbing as the incumbent contractor who has been providing these services under contracts N0016722P0223 and N0016725P0024. The base award covers 14 loads over a 6-week testing period from August 18, 2025 to December 31, 2025, with an option for 15 additional loads during a subsequent 3-week period, extending the performance period through September 30, 2026. Deliveries are scheduled Monday through Friday during working hours from 0600-1500, excluding federal holidays, with a maximum of 2 loads per day and requiring 12-hour advance notice. The place of performance is West Bethesda, MD, specifically Building 60, Room 175 at the NSWCCD laboratory, though the notice also references Westlake, MD 20817 as the performance location. The firm fixed price contract structure indicates a straightforward pricing arrangement, though specific dollar values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents.
