24Z4AV1 BRINE TRANSFER - FCI Pekin

Hausers Water Systems was awarded contract 15B41126P00000123 for a duplex brine transfer pump skid and related services totaling $36,175.00, with delivery and performance taking place at the Federal Correctional Institution in Pekin, Illinois. The acquisition was conducted as a 100% small business set-aside under FAR 6.103-1(b), citing sole source justification due to Hausers Water Systems' proprietary control over the software and monitoring systems integrated with the existing water treatment infrastructure at the facility, making it the only vendor capable of ensuring operational compatibility and technical continuity. The scope includes delivery of the pump skid, electrical engineering updates to the softener system, labor to conduct functional testing and load programmable logic controller software, and associated freight services, with acceptance occurring upon delivery at the facility. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with no options, extensions, or variable quantities, and no competitive evaluation process was utilized. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 423720, and while the acquisition meets market research requirements under FAR Part 10 and statutory exceptions under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), no specific technical standards, packaging specifications, labeling requirements, or MIL-STDs are referenced in the documentation.

The Contracting Officer’s Representative and payment office are not fully identified, though the primary point of contact is Gary Kurtz at gkurtz@bop.gov, and payments will be processed through the Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons, at the FCI Pekin address.
