Description

The United States Marine Corps is seeking market information on water desalination equipment that could be deployed to Pacific island locations or other regions with limited water infrastructure. The solicitation asks vendors to describe existing capabilities, commercially available systems, cost estimates, lead times, and production capacity (e.g., gallons of potable water per day). No quantity is specified; the Marine Corps wants best‑estimate data to assess feasibility and potential future procurement. • Targeted equipment: portable or semi‑portable desalination units for use in austere, island environments. • Information requested: current theater capability, commercial product options, unit cost, delivery schedule, daily water output, and any other relevant performance metrics. • No formal bid or contract award is implied; this is purely an information‑gathering effort (RFI). • No deadlines, meetings, or site visits are indicated. • Primary contact is Jacie Liu (USMC).

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

Because this is a Request for Information, no contract value is disclosed. However, if the Marine Corps proceeds to a procurement based on the data gathered, typical costs for medium‑scale desalination units suitable for island deployment range from several hundred thousand dollars to a few million dollars per system, depending on capacity (e.g., 10,000–100,000 gallons per day). Assuming a future award of 1–5 units, the total contract could plausibly fall between $500,000 and $5,000,000. This estimate accounts for equipment cost, shipping to remote locations, installation, and initial training.
