This modification will incorporate two one-year options to purchase contractor in-theater support services, support equipment maintenance, consumable supplies/materials and site deactivation to maintain the continuity of operations of seven each Expeditionary Water Packaging Systems (EWPSs) in Afghanistan. Support services consist of efforts to maintain and operate the water bottling system in austere environments as well as water quality surveillance. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for personnel and program management functions. Procurement includes consumables supplies and materials include bottle preforms, caps, labels, stretch wrap, stamping foil, banding straps, sanitary/cleaning/water test supplies, pallets, tier sheets, and labels to package the water. Materials include spare parts and replacement parts for the EWPSs and site support equipment. The EWPS is a commercial, self contained, fully integrated, ISO configured water packaging system. It is capable of producing a minimum of 5,000 one-liter bottles of water per day per system and meets requirements for providing packaged water in remote areas in-theater. The original equipment manufacturer of the EWPS is Karcher Futuretech of Germany. DRS is the sole licensee of Karcher in the United States for military ground support equipment and services.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
