Quick Summary
The NATIONAL PARK SERVICE (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, has issued a Sole Source Justification for the procurement of a fully integrated Nano Bubble Filtration System for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. This acquisition is deemed urgent to replace a failing filtration system and ensure the pool is operational for the Nation's 250th anniversary events. The proposed contractor is Greenwater Services.
Scope of Work
This system utilizes nanobubble ozone infusion technology to improve water quality by reducing bacteria, pathogens, algae, and organic contaminants. Key components and services include:
- Onsite generation of oxygen and ozone
- Patented nanobubble infusion technology
- Pumps, valves, piping, fittings, controls, and safety sensors
- HVAC units for system housing
- Electrical components (transformers, panels, cabling, conduit)
- Structural frames and insulated connections
- Installation, testing, startup, and commissioning
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole Source Justification (Contract Opportunity Type: Justification)
- Proposed Contractor: Greenwater Services
- Independent Government Estimate (IGE): $1,808,352 (for the Nano Bubble portion)
- Published Date: May 1, 2026
Evaluation
This is a sole source justification, not a solicitation for proposals. The authority cited for other than full and open competition is FAR 6.103-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency. A competitive acquisition is estimated to cause a 10-15 week delay, preventing the pool from being operational for critical public events.
Additional Notes
- The system is engineered for high oxidative efficiency and long residence time of ozone-filled nanobubbles, validated by NOAA, Ohio State University, and the University of Florida.
- The entire system is considered the minimum necessary to meet urgent needs; partial procurement or staged installation would not allow the system to function.
- The Nano Bubble system is a specialized technology with limited domestic suppliers and requires proprietary manufacturing and system-integration expertise.
- Future acquisitions for similar needs will aim for early planning to allow for complete competition cycles.
