Water Strainer Inspection and Cleaning at Watervliet Arsenal, NY

This federal solicitation (W911PT26QA097), issued by the Army Contracting Command at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) in New York, seeks a contractor to perform water meter strainer cleaning and inspection services under Project #26PW018. The selected contractor will inspect and clean seven potable water system strainers (part of 8-inch Sensus OMNI Fireline Water Meter assemblies) located across multiple buildings and vaults. Because water meter pits are classified as permit-required confined spaces, the contractor must supply all safety equipment, including air monitoring devices and harnesses, and coordinate daily with the WVA Fire Department. Key deliverables include a detailed work plan, before-and-after photo documentation, and a final inspection report with maintenance recommendations. The contractor must also pump out flooded valve vaults, reassemble components to verify they do not leak under pressure, and safely dispose of construction debris. The project has a strict 30-day period of performance from the notice to proceed. It is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). Quotes must be submitted electronically to Contract Specialist Dana Gleeson by July 7, 2026. All on-site personnel are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement regarding Watervliet Arsenal manufacturing technology prior to commencing work.
