The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) has a requirement to procure a Sorbent Based Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) system to include hardware, software, warranty, and technical support. ERDC-CERL intends to sole source this acquisition in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) to Molecule USA Inc.. The Molecule USA Inc. AWG system uses unique Regeneration Optimized Sorbent (ROS) materials, which allow water to be generated at lower regeneration temperatures without sacrificing performance. ROS materials are advanced porous materials that can be integrated to allow water generation in environments where existing AWG systems on the market do not function. As a result, the Molecule’s AWG system allows for full regeneration at 140°F, which is very feasible for our operational condition. Market research has found that the AWG system manufactured by Molecule USA is the only system that can meet the project objectives.
