Enclosed/attached is the U.S. Army Sources Sought Questionnaire related to potential new procurement of the Water Storage and Distribution System (WSDS). The paragraphs below contain additional information regarding the questionnaire and its subject. If you need further communications with the U.S. Army concerning this questionnaire, you may contact Mike McHale from Product Manager, Petroleum and Water Systems (PdM PAWS) at michael.j.mchale2.civ@mail.mil. We thank you in advance for your time and participation in this Sources Sought Questionnaire. Background: In order to understand the industry base capable of producing the components of the WSDS system and inform the parallel development of an acquisition strategy, cost estimate, technical risk assessment, and performance specification, PdM PAWS seeks to characterize the state of the market to fill current shortages in Quartermaster (QM) Water Support Companies (WSCs) and to field the capability to the new QM Composite Supply Companies (CSCs). While a full set of requirements is not yet available (as it is partially dependent on the information obtained in this market survey), the WSDS is the U.S. Army's primary large potable water bag farm storage and issuing capability and comes in five capacities: 20,000 (20K), 40,000 (40K), 100,000 (100K), 300,000 (300K), and 800,000 (800K) gallons (GAL). The WSDS is envisioned to be compromised of collapsible storage tanks (20K and 50K GAL), engine driven centrifugal water pumps, meters, hoses, valves, fittings and nozzles. The system will also have hypo-chlorination units that automatically chlorinates water to U.S. Army standards. The WSDS will need to interface with current and future water distribution and transport systems. These systems will store and issue potable water during operations where water sources are not readily available. As a critical commodity, potable water must have sufficient storage and issuing capacity to ensure requirements to support the modular forces are met. The WSDS provides a large capacity capability that is tail505050orable and transportable.
