The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the installation of a portable Water Demineralizer System, compliant with MIL-STD-1330E Grade "B." The project involves the initial setup and a yearly maintenance service, including quarterly tank exchanges and filter deliveries for a duration of one year, with two optional additional years. Key specified requirements include stringent maximum levels for chloride ions, conductivity, and visual clarity. The solicitation utilizes full and open competition under the NAICS code 532490. Vendors are to quote a firm fixed price across several contract line item numbers (CLINs) covering installation, equipment supply, filter provision, and maintenance fees, with base performance from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026, and options extending through 2028. Interested parties must submit their quotes by April 4, 2025, and ensure they are registered in SAM.gov. The document underlines the critical need for compliance with government regulations and quality assurance while maintaining a focus on obtaining the best value for the government through evaluation criteria based on technical capability, price, and past performance.

The document outlines MIL-STD-1330E(SH), a standard of the Department of Defense focused on precision cleaning and testing of oxygen, helium, nitrogen, and hydrogen systems on naval vessels and associated facilities. It provides comprehensive requirements for maintaining cleanliness in systems that interface with oxygen and its compounds, emphasizing the importance of safety due to the fire hazards associated with oxygen systems. Key sections include applicability to various ship systems, definitions of cleaning methods and solvents, specified cleanliness levels, and detailed procedures for cleaning, testing, and disposal of materials involved in the cleaning process. Particularly, the document describes the types of aqueous cleaning solutions allowed, their safety precautions, and guidelines for proper disposal in alignment with regulatory standards. Emphasis is placed on using compatible materials, establishing a safe working environment, and maintaining high levels of cleanliness to prevent contamination. This standard serves as a critical reference for contractors and naval personnel involved in maintaining, repairing, and ensuring the operational safety of shipboard gas systems, thus reinforcing the U.S. Navy's commitment to rigorous cleaning and safety protocols.

The operating document outlines a service contract for the rental of a Portable Water Demineralization System at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) in Bremerton, WA, for the period from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026, with options for two additional years. The water service specified must meet Grade “B” standards as per MIL-STD-1330E, including limitations on chloride ions and conductivity, and must be free from turbidity and sediment. The contractor is responsible for setting up the system, providing operational manuals to the personnel, and ensuring compliance with military and environmental regulations. Additionally, all contractor personnel must be U.S. citizens and adhere to safety protocols and protective equipment requirements. The document stipulates the need for immediate reporting of any accidents or environmental mishaps, including detailed follow-up reports. This contract reflects government efforts to maintain operational standards and safety compliance tied to the specialized requirements of military environments while promoting environmental health and safety. Overall, the document illustrates the structure and requirements for procuring essential infrastructure services within a federal context.
