Water distribution systems are mobile systems and equipment used for the transport and distribution of potable or nonpotable water.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Authorized Equipment List (AEL) item number for this equipment is 19GN-00-H2OD: System, Water Distribution. The primary focus of this request is on water distribution systems used where clean water is not available (e.g., dispensers, storage tanks, and transport trailers). The target audience for this information is emergency management agencies, public health departments, and public utilities. All submittals should be suited to their specific needs. Review of this information is being performed for the DHS System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) Program, which aims to conduct objective comparative assessments and validation of commercial equipment and systems and provide those results with the emergency responder community. For more information on the SAVER Program, visit https://www.rkb.us/saver.

The submitted information will be evaluated for inclusion in SAVER projects. If a SAVER project on this type of equipment is executed, the equipment selection will be based upon a number of factors, including responder surveys and focus group inputs. Consequently, follow-up requests for feedback should not be made through Federal Business Opportunities posting agency. Vendors may be contacted following submission for more detailed product information. Vendor provided information may be reformatted for publication in SAVER Program documents.
