    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM), is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for a new mobile Platoon Water Purification System (PWPS-M) intended to replace the existing Portable Water Purification System (PWPS). The PWPS-M aims to enhance mobility and efficiency by consolidating the system into a single ruggedized case, allowing one Marine to independently operate the unit while producing potable water from fresh, brackish, and saltwater sources. This system is crucial for supporting platoon operations within the Fleet Marine Forces, with key performance requirements including the ability to process 15 to 35 gallons of water per hour and a maximum weight of 80 pounds, while ensuring ease of setup within 30 minutes. Interested parties must submit their responses, along with documentation detailing their qualifications and capabilities, by April 4, 2025, as the Marine Corps plans to procure approximately 300 PWPS-M units under a five-year contract. For further inquiries, contact Corinne Beadle at corinne.beadle.civ@usmc.mil or Jamie Fullinwider at jamie.fullinwider@usmc.mil.
