DET 4 Domestic Water Tank Replacement

The 31st Contracting Squadron (31 CONS) of the Department of the Air Force is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of replacing domestic water tanks at Detachment 4. The project requires procuring and installing a modular, floor-mounted hot water system to replace three existing 5,000-liter insulated tanks. The new system must be suitable for indoor installation and comply with European safety and quality standards, including mandatory CE certification for all components. Technical specifications include advanced corrosion protection, such as internal Bluetech enamel lining. Work will be performed in Aviano, Italy, and includes the full scope of replacement, leak testing, commissioning, and technical documentation. This inquiry will help the agency determine an acquisition strategy for a future solicitation. Capability statements and market research responses are due by June 5, 2026. All participating vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). This notice seeks to identify sources capable of providing domestic hot water systems with high-efficiency insulation and advanced corrosion protection. The requirement includes hardware delivery, leak testing, commissioning, and technical documentation. The Air Force is using this research to assess commercial availability and vendor interest before a potential solicitation. The project includes providing hardware, installation, leak testing, and commissioning, with all materials meeting CE certification standards.
