    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC), intends to award a sole source contract to Ocean Pacific Technologies (OPT) for the provision of their patented fully ceramic water lubricated axial piston pump (APP) and motor (APM). This procurement aims to support particle wear resistance testing for pumped hydropower energy storage (PHES) systems at the NAVFAC EXWC Seawater Desalination Test Facility, which is critical for evaluating the operational longevity and performance of these systems under particulate loading conditions. The successful implementation of this technology is expected to enable cost-effective scaling of PHES to microgrid installations, enhancing long-duration energy storage capabilities. Interested parties may contact Kitty Candelaria at kitty.l.candelaria.civ@us.navy.mil or Nicole M. Mendes at nicole.m.mendes2.civ@us.navy.mil for further information, with the anticipated award date set for on or before December 31, 2025.

    This government file details a justification for using other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The acquisition is for water-lubricated axial piston pumps and motors with ceramic bearings, a novel device used in water hydraulics. These devices, along with a test stand and related support services, are required for testing particle wear resistance in pumped hydro energy storage systems. The determination for a sole-source acquisition is based on restrictive rights, as Ocean Pacific Technologies (OPT) holds patents for this specific technology. Although OPT has licensed the technology to Danfoss LLC, Danfoss does not commercially offer these devices with all ceramic bearing surfaces under high pressures, making OPT the only available source. The required delivery date for this acquisition is March 30, 2026, with a performance period from October 30, 2025, to December 31, 2026. The justification includes certifications from technical/requirements personnel and contracting officers.
