The spraying devices (nozzles)of the system must be capable of being fixed to the inlet of the engine. The water wash system should be a commercial off-the-shelf or other non-developmental item.

If testing satisfies the U.S. Navy's needs, follow on procurements by individual Navy units on an as needed basis will be authorized. U.S. and foreign firms interested in being considered should submit, in writing, a description of their product, which fulfills the Navy requirement along with price and availability information.
