Pilot-Scale System Design and Fabrication

The contract seeks the design, fabrication, and deployment of modular pilot-scale water treatment systems to validate laboratory-developed technologies under real-world field conditions. These systems must be scalable, transportable, and capable of operating in diverse environmental settings to test performance, durability, and efficiency outside controlled lab environments. The work involves integrating advanced treatment processes into compact, field-ready units that can be rapidly deployed and monitored for data collection and performance evaluation. Technical specifications will require adherence to rigorous engineering standards and compatibility with existing water quality monitoring protocols. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 333318 and is being issued by the Bureau of Reclamation within the Department of the Interior. Proposals must be submitted by September 29, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 29, 2026. While the specific location of performance is not detailed, implementation is expected to occur at field sites relevant to U.S. water resource challenges, potentially across multiple states. The modular nature of the systems allows for flexibility in deployment scenarios, and successful contractors will be expected to support ongoing data analysis, system troubleshooting, and delivery of validated performance metrics to inform future full-scale adoption.
