Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with Highland Engineering awarded prior contracts for the 1,500 GPH Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU) parts (e.g., FA481924P0081 valued at $336,500 for ROWPU components in accordance with USAF TO specifications). Additional confirmed incumbent activity includes Tech Service Solutions providing pump and motor sets specifically for the 1,500 GPH ROWPU (FA481924P0066), and Highland Engineering procuring pump and motor sets for the HEI 1500 ROWPU at Tyndall AFB (FA481924P0026). The current requirement for replacement components and chemical consumables for the same 1500 GPH ROWPU and associated raw water systems is consistent with a continuation of prior sustainment/parts replenishment.
