Backflow Orders RFI

The United States Marine Corps (MCI‑West RCO) is conducting market research to assess vendor capability for supplying a range of backflow prevention assemblies (e.g., Zurn Model 375XL, 975XL, FEBCO 825Y, Watts Series 909, etc.). Respondents are asked to provide: • Estimated cost for each listed item • Lead time (60‑day or faster after award) • Any industry questions that could streamline the research The RFI is purely informational and will not bind the government; a formal RFQ will be issued later based on the feedback received. No pricing, schedule, or award details are provided at this stage. • This is a market‑research RFI, not a binding solicitation. • Vendors must submit cost estimates and lead‑time projections for the listed backflow devices. • No mandatory pre‑bid meeting or site visit is indicated. • The solicitation seeks to gauge feasibility and vendor interest for future procurement. • The eventual contract (if any) will likely involve supply of backflow preventers for potable‑water applications, meeting ASSE 1013, AWWA C511, CSA B64.4, and NSF/ANSI standards.
