- Attachment 1, Notional Waterflow Diagram (i) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) Request for Quote (RFQ) FA8606-11-R-6362 is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items. This combined synopsis/solicitation is issued as a RFQ. Submit written offers only, oral offers will not be accepted. All firms or individuals responding must be registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). (iii) This combined synopsis/solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-48 and through Department of Defense Acquisition Regulation Change Notice 20100802. It is the contractor's responsibility to be familiar with applicable clauses and provisions. Clauses and provisions can be found at: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vffar1.htm (iv) This procurement is being issued as 100% Small Business Set-Aside. North American Industrial Classification Standard: 333319; Small Business Size Standard: 500 (v) CLIN (0001) 2 (ea) Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Water Filtration systems that will be used for water purification in field operations. The water purification devices shall be capable of producing the required EPA quality water quantities as specified. The device's filtration process shall consist of one combination carbon/sediment pre-filter meeting NSFI/ANSI Standard 42; one seawater Reverse Osmosis (RO) filter; and one carbon block post filter meeting NSFI/ANSI Standard 53. The system shall also have provisions to re-circulate a portion of both RO brine and product water to the feed of the RO system to both reduce waste and improve RO performance. The reverse osmosis portion of the water purification device shall utilize RO membranes rated for seawater operation. The RO system shall be sized to provide a net product flow of 103 gallons per day minimum. Product flow in excess of this amount shall be recycled back to the feed. The RO system tests will adhere to NSFI/ANSI Standard 58 operation and sampling protocols. The pre and post RO carbon block filters shall be placed into the system as described in the attached diagram. The filters must be NSFI certified as follows: • Pre Carbon Filter: Certified to NSFI/ANSI Standard 42 - Drinking Water Treatment Units - Aesthetic Effects for chlorine reduction and class II (or better) particulate reduction. • Post Carbon Filter: Certified to NSFI/ANSI Standard 53- Drinking Water Treatment Units - Health Effects for reduction of asbestos, cyst, lead, mercury, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and volatile organic compounds (VOC). The device shall possess a capability to re-circulate a portion of both the RO brine and permeate water to the feed of the RO system to both reduce waste and improve RO performance. The recirculation capability must be flexible and adaptable to interface and merge with the feed water source. STANAG 2136 source water pressure to the WPD must range between 5 psig to approximately 28 psig. The EPA water product output shall be employed to feed a SWFI generation system at a minimum flow of 103 gpd. The purification device shall produce water that complies with EPA equivalent standards derived or compliant with US EPA National Primary & Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (40 CFR 141). Potable raw water sources intended for processing by the water purification device could be supplied at temperatures ranging between 33°F and 104°F. However, it is anticipated that source water will be chilled to temperatures well below the upper limit prior to supplying the WPD. The device shall be able to purify potable water to obtain a suitable separation ratio of reducing challenge water chemical and metal concentrations to not exceed the Maximum Contamination Levels (MCL's) for virus and micro-organism contaminants allowed by EPA standards. Produce EPA quality water at a flow rate of at least 270 ml/min. It is also desirable that the unit be capable of monitoring and displaying cumulative flow rates to facilitate filter replacement intervals. Produce no more than twenty five percent (25%) waste effluent, i.e. water that cannot be returned to a potable source or used for other domestic needs. The system must be capable of re-circulating a percentage of both the RO brine and permeate) to minimize waste while improving performance. The device shall be a one-piece, stand alone man portable device with handles. It must weigh less than one hundred (100) pounds; inclusive of added filter capability and shipping container. The device shall be less than (12) cubic-feet in its shipping configuration to address the expected compactness of a man portable system. The devices shall use less than 0.5 kW of 120 Volts Alternating Current (VAC), from a Single Phase, 50/60 Hertz (Hz), 20 Amp service. During shipping and storage the device could be subjected to temperature ranges from minus 20°F and up to 160°F. The device is expected to operate within normal performance specifications and tolerances when placed into operation. However, it is expected that a new element will be used at start up each time the system has shipped or been stored. Vendors shall provide information on recommended procedures required to drain internal residual water from a device that has been in operation and is being re-packed for shipping. Device shall have an operational availability (OA) of ninety-seven (97%) as a minimum when operated continuously for 10 hours per day over a thirty (30) normal working day period. Device shall have a Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) time of no more than two (2) hours to include the periodic replacement of consumable items such as filters. Device shall not pose any hazardous threats to the environment from the disposal of any its components and material. Device shall not pose any safety hazards in the event of a single fault or catastrophic failure condition and shall comply with electrical safety requirements of IEC 60601-1 and applicable Underwriter Laboratory (UL) 60601 electrical safety standards for medical equipment. Device shall emit no more than 65 dBA of noise when measured at one meter radius from the device. The device shall be operable by any military skill level 5 personnel. Device shall be maintained and repaired by one equipment repair biomedical technician, skill level 5 to perform system checks by means of vender provided operation and maintenance manuals. The manual(s) shall provide detailed descriptions on WPD operating and maintenance requirements. The service manuals should include but not be limited to the theory of operation, troubleshooting, illustrated parts breakdown (IPB); all schematics (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc) All parts should be provided to the Unites States Air Force without the need to attend any OEM training.
