Army Procurement: Restricted Competition for Water Purification Equipment Not Justified

摘要

The report reviews the Army's procedures in awarding and administrating contracts for the design, development, and production of 600 and 3,000 gallon-per-hour (GPH) reverse osmosis water purification units (ROWPUs). These units, used to convert seawater and contaminated fresh water into potable water, are essential in areas where adequate potable water is not available to meet the needs of U.S. armed forces.
