Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, is soliciting proposals for the fabrication, testing, and delivery of six Demineralizer Pressure Vessels. This procurement is conducted under Full and Open Competition. Proposals are due by June 4, 2026, at 8:00 PM UTC.
Scope of Work
This opportunity requires the fabrication, assembly, and testing of Demineralizer Pressure Vessels designed for a pressure range of 29 inches Hg to 150 PSI, a temperature of 140 deg. F, and a flow rate of 25 GPM with a maximum differential pressure drop of 5 PSID. Key specifications include a 24-inch outer diameter, three 1-inch Hansen quick disconnect fittings, and internal piping made of corrosion-resistant material (e.g., 300 Series Stainless Steel). Each demineralizer must have a media capacity of 7 cu. ft. (3.5 cu. ft. HOH resin, 3.5 cu. ft. granular activated carbon), support media as a fixed bed, and have a maximum overall height of 45-1/4 inches and a maximum weight of 2,000 lbs (with media and water). Top shielding of 6 inches of steel with specific gamma attenuation properties is required, along with a leakproof skirt and the ability to be dewatered to less than 0.5% of waste volume. Vessels must be outfitted with certified lifting means, including two 5/8"-11UNC-2B tapped lifting holes.
Key Requirements & Deliverables
Bidders must provide detailed manufacturing drawings for approval, material specifications, and various test reports and certifications. Required documentation includes:
- Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for materials meeting disposal criteria (A001).
- Product Engineering Design Data and Associated Lists (Demineralizer Drawing) (A002).
- Tapped Lifting Hole Material Testing reports (A003).
- Hydrostatic Test Report (A004).
- Analytical Condition Inspection (ACI) Report for Pre & Post Load (Test) Visual Inspection (A005).
- Load Test Report (A006).
- Magnetic Particle Inspection Reports (A007).
- Certified Demineralizer Dewatering Procedure (A008).
- Certified Report for Demineralizer Weight (A009).
All reports have specific submission timelines (drafts for government evaluation, finals within 15 working days after acceptance and prior to shipment) and format requirements (electronic PDF and hard copy with shipment).
