Based on current requirements the option will be exercised for repair support of the Manual Reverse Osmosis Desalinator.

This contract involves the exercise of the first option year under the existing contract N0010411DC002, initially awarded to Katadyn North America in September 2011 following a sole source, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solicitation in May 2011. At the time of the original award, pricing and terms were thoroughly evaluated and deemed fair and reasonable. After analyzing forecasted needs, the decision was made to continue with option year 1 to support repair services for the Manual Reverse Osmosis Desalinator, reflecting a determination that this continuation serves the best interest of the government. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense’s Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Subcontracting opportunities related to this contract are available but must be coordinated directly with Katadyn North America. While no additional set-aside details are specified, the contract falls under NAICS code 333318, indicating its classification within certain industrial equipment manufacturing. The original contract and option exercise ensure ongoing maintenance support critical to mission requirements.
