Request for Information (RFI): Point-of-Need Water Generation, Purification, and Recycling Technologies for INDOPACOM Operations

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) is conducting a market survey to identify mature, high Technology Readiness Level (TRL 7-9) solutions for water generation, purification, and recycling at the point of need. The technology should support drinking, personal hygiene, and field feeding for individual to medium force size units (up to 150 people) and focus on lightweight, effective, and sustainable water systems that reduce logistical dependency on bulk water resupply. Key characteristics of the proposed technology include: • Point-of-Need: Providing water directly at the location where required • High Technology Maturity: TRL 7-9 • Multi-Source Purification: Capable of producing potable water that meets TB MED 577 standards from a variety of sources • Logistically Sustainable: Requires minimal consumables, has extended service intervals, and operates with low power requirements • Ruggedized: Designed to operate reliably in INDOPACOM • Water Catchment and Harvesting: Collection systems designed to capture and route clean rainwater directly into storage/purification units • Tactical Water Quality Testing: Non-electronic, low-power testing kits or inline sensors capable of identifying chemical, biological, and/or radiological contaminants
