Scrubbers, Burners, and AHPD

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility requires the Original Equipment Manufacturer, CEPEDA Associates Inc., to perform inspection, testing, and technical grooming of CO2 Removal Units, CO/H2 removal units (burners), and the Air High Pressure Dehydrator (AHPD) for a Seawolf-class submarine. The work will be conducted pier-side at Olympic Pier Naval Base in Bangor, Washington, with a primary performance window from January 7 to January 28, 2026. This is a sole-source acquisition justified by the contractor's exclusive OEM licensing, proprietary technical data rights, and an unusual and compelling urgency to meet a critical ship repair schedule, with a target award date of December 15, 2025. The scope of work includes pre-availability and operational testing conducted in accordance with SUBMEPP and Navy technical standards, ensuring strict adherence to UIPI cleanliness requirements. Key deliverables include Condition Found Reports due within 24 hours of testing, Completion Reports due within five business days, and Contractor Furnished Material Reports. Due to the nature of the equipment, contractor personnel must maintain a Confidential facility security clearance and adhere to strict safeguards for Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information. All activities are subject to shipboard safety protocols, including the use of Work Authorization Forms and coordination with the Government Contracting Officer's Representative.
