N4523A26Q40330004 - Demineralizer- Full and Open Competition

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The solicitation N4523A26Q40330001 is issued by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Facility (PSNS&IMF) for the procurement of Demineralizer Pressure Vessels. The goal of this contract is to fabricate, test, and deliver these vessels to support the operational needs of the facility. The procurement has transitioned from a Small Business Set-Aside to Full and Open Competition. Work Details The contractor is required to provide 6 Demineralizer Pressure Vessels, preloaded with ion exchange resin and activated carbon. Each unit must meet specific design criteria including: - Design Pressure: 29 inches Hg to 150 PSI - Design Temperature: 140 deg. F - Design Flow Rate: 25 GPM - Maximum differential pressure drop: 5 PSID at 25 GPM - Outer diameter: 24 inches - Connection Ports: Inlet (1 inch female Hansen stainless steel self-sealing quick disconnect), Outlet (1 inch male Hansen stainless steel self-sealing quick disconnect), Vent (1 inch male Hansen stainless steel self-sealing quick disconnect). The contractor must also provide a drawing specifying manufacturing details, obtain approval from PSNS&IMF prior to manufacture, and ensure that all delivered units are free of corrosion. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at. Place of Performance The completed demineralizers are to be delivered to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington. Bidder Requirements Bidders must provide a comprehensive specification sheet for the proposed product, including part numbers if applicable. Quotes must include all shipping and freight charges in the unit cost, as separate listings will not be accepted. Additionally, bidders must comply with various technical standards and requirements outlined in the Statement of Work, including adherence to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and other applicable documents. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with Fourinox awarded prior PSNS&IMF contracts for demineralizer components under contract numbers N4523A25P4109 (value $146,850; 07/30/25–10/31/25) and N4523A24P4054 (value $103,200; 07/05/24–12/31/24). The prior work is described as demineralizer-related items (including demineralizer tanks), which aligns with the current requirement to fabricate and deliver demineralizer pressure vessels preloaded with ion exchange resin and activated carbon and meeting ASME pressure vessel requirements.
