About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command has issued a Sources Sought Notice for a Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Water-Power Harvester system designed to provide portable water generation capabilities. The procurement seeks contractors capable of delivering an integrated water harvesting system that combines a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system rated at minimum 16 gallons per hour for purifying fresh, brackish, or salt water with an Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) producing 12-30 gallons of water daily from atmospheric moisture. The system must include flexible power options supporting 12-48 DC and various AC configurations, NSWC-Carderock MilSpec Lithium-Ion batteries, solar array connectivity, and an internal 12+ gallon water tank with integrated potable and pressurized water capabilities. Interested businesses must submit capabilities statements limited to five pages by June 18, 2025, demonstrating their ability to meet the technical requirements and including company details, DUNS number, CAGE code, business size classification under NAICS 221310, and a positive statement of intent to bid as prime contractor.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the notice. While no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed, the solicitation falls under NAICS 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems) with a small business size standard of $41.0 million, and the Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based on responses received. The system specifications include detailed dimensional requirements for the modular components: AWG Module (40" x 48" x 23", 250 lbs), RO Module (40" x 48" x 30", 275 lbs), Power Pack Module (40" x 48" x 14", 325 lbs), and Booster Pump (20" x 17" x 14", 40 lbs). The procurement also includes a Mangrove Kit containing a 500-gallon water bladder and associated equipment, plus mandatory training consisting of at least one day of on-site instruction scheduled after delivery. The system must provide software upgrades for a minimum of 12 months and meet performance specifications based on 80°F temperature at 60% relative humidity conditions.
