5 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2022–FY2026): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line falls across the span. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Decade series values by fiscal year and President's Budget edition: one row per series (actuals, enacted, request), one column per fiscal year. Every figure opens its own citation.

Description

Description — Distribution Systems, Petroleum & Water

The Family of Petroleum and Water Distribution Systems supports the Army's mission and modernization efforts to supply bulk fuel and water during Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) to all Department of Defense (DoD) forces deployed globally. These systems support various Cross Function Teams (CFTs): Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF), Next Generation Combat Vehicles (NGCV), Air and Missile Defense (AMD), and Future Vertical Lift (FVL). Distribution systems consist of hoses, pumps, tanks, filter separators, fittings, couplings, and nozzles. The Water Bison replaces the aging Water Buffalo and provides a full day supply of bulk potable water to Army units. The Water Bison is a 500-gallon baffled capacity tank mounted on a trailer and may include a freeze protection kit. The Bison AAO is 9,691. The Water Storage Distribution System (WSDS) is a 100,000 gallon potable water storage system that is tailorable in receiving, storing, and issuing bulk water to all water systems in the Army inventory. The WSDS is the Army's primary large potable water bag farm storage. The WSDS can be set up to enable split operations and multiple configurations. The WSDS is comprised of collapsible storage tanks, engine driven centrifugal water pumps, meters, hoses, fittings and nozzles. The system also has hypo-chlorination units that automatically chlorinates water to Army standards. Army Acquisition Objective (AAO): 114 with 32 systems having split ops capability. The Modular Fuel System (MFS) Tank Rack Module (TRM) is a 2,500 gallon mobile storage and distribution platform. It is configured in a 20 foot International Organization for Standardization (ISO) frame with integrated bale bar and is Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck-Load Handling System (HEMTT-LHS), Palletized Load Handling System (PLS) and PLS Trailer transportable. The MFS-TRM has a Stand-Alone Retail Capability (S-ARC) with its integrated continuous use electric pump, filter separator and flow meter. MFS TRM can be operated while truck mounted, trailer mounted or placed on the ground. The MFS-TRM can also be coupled with the HEMTT Tanker to form a highly mobile 5,000 gallon distribution platform within Brigade Combat Teams. The MFS provides the ability to rapidly establish a fuel distribution and storage capability at any location regardless of the availability of construction equipment or material handling equipment. The AAO is 4,124 TRMs. The Early Entry Fluid Distribution System (E2FDS) is a highly automated flexible conduit system that complements the Inland Petroleum Distribution System (IPDS) by providing up to 50 miles of early entry capability for petroleum and water. It can throughput 850,000 gallons of petroleum or 650,000 gallons of non-potable water per day and emplace conduit at 25 miles per day or retrieve at 10 miles per day. The E2FDS consists of five major modules: automated pump stations, Employment and Retrieval System (ERS), 50 miles of flexible conduit and support equipment, command / control module, and an automated trace planning tool. The E2FDS components are packaged in 20-foot ISO containers for deployment and are transported on HEMTT-LHS, PLS and PLS Trailer. E2FDS reduces the requirement for line-haul petroleum semitrailers and relieves main supply route congestion. The E2FDS enables rapid setup of the conduit trace, and the automated and centralized control enable greater precision of pipeline operations with fewer personnel. Once the IPDS pipeline is emplaced, the E2FDS can be used to extend the pipeline trace or be moved to another location. The AAO is 25 with the 3 five-mile training sets, 10 five-mile sets and 12 Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI) sets. The Mobile Tactical Retail Refueling System (MTRRS) is a 970 gallon capacity fuel tank, with a pump flow rate that can exceed 40 gallons per minute using an electric fuel motor/pump, a filter separator, and a flow meter. MTRRS allows for different configurations and transport platforms including cargo trucks, trailers, and Load Handling System flat-racks. The system can be removed from transport platform and operated on the ground. The MTRRS will replace the aging Tank Pump Unit (TPU) and Tank Unit Liquid Dispensing (TULD) systems. The AAO is 3,038. The Load Handling System (LHS) Compatible Water Tank Rack System (Hippo) is a 2,000 gallon potable water tank mounted in an ISO frame. It is outfitted with a water pump, hose reel, and filling station. It is used for bulk load and discharge, retail distribution, and bulk storage of potable water. The prime mover is HEMTT-LHS, and PLS. HIPPOs will replace the 3k Semi-trailer Mounted Fabric Tank (SMFT) and most Forward Area Water Point Supply systems (FAWPSS). The AAO is 3,100. The Chemical Biological Radiation Nuclear (CBRN) Water Hauler consists of an 800-gallon (T), capacity tank with integral freeze protection, mounted on the MTV 5 Ton Truck. Decontamination operations require bulk non-potable water in support of the Joint Force per ATP 3-11.32 of up to 450 gallons per vehicle. Decontamination capabilities are critical in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) because the enemy will utilize multiple layers of Anti-Access and Area Denial (A2AD) capabilities to include CBRN threats to delay and to impose high cost to obstruct strategic objectives. The AAO is 399. The 3k TWPS replaces the 3,000 Gallons per Hour Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (3k ROWPU). The 3k TWPS will be the primary bulk water purification capability supporting Echelons Above Brigade (EAB) and will be the primary water purification capability for tactical laundry and shower facilities. The 3k TWPS is a complete water purification system consisting of feed water pumps, hoses, media & cartridge filters, high pressure pump, reverse osmosis elements, 3,000 gallon/hour water storage & distribution system. It will be configured within an ISO container and mounted on a trailer towable by a M1088 truck. The system retains the capability to produce potable water from all surface and ground sources, including CBRN-contaminated water. The AAO is 190. Petroleum Expeditionary Analysis Kit (PEAK) is a self-contained fuel kit that evaluates the quality of kerosene-based and diesel fuels used in aircraft and ground systems. It is a stand-alone system that will rapidly verify petroleum products suitability for use, prior to issue at point of consumption. The PEAK provides go/no-go fuel quality status in minutes and will enable fuel-handlers to test key fuel characteristics before refueling military equipment. The system verifies the fuel type, fuel grades, and measures levels of the required additives, as well as possible contaminants. The PEAK prevents equipment failure through fuel quality surveillance. It increases the efficiency of fuel management, reducing by days the turn-around time necessary for fuel testing at centralized petroleum laboratories. The PEAK enhances the Petroleum and Water Quartermaster (QM) War Fighting Capabilities and will be used in Armored, Infantry and Stryker Brigade Combat Teams, Composite Supply Companies, and Sustainment Companies. The PEAK is classified as a Class VII system and will replace the Class IX Aviation Fuel Contamination Test Kit. The AAO is 1,411. PEAK was included in the OPA Budget Line Consolidation. In FY 2025, the QUALITY SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT (MB6400) was consolidated into the Distribution Systems, Petroleum & Water (MA6000) program.

Justification

Justification — Distribution Systems, Petroleum & Water

The MA6000 Distribution Systems, Petroleum & Water line funds multiple systems with differing unit costs. The Gross/Weapon System Unit Cost on the P40 will fluctuate year-to-year depending on the underlying mix of systems procured. FY 2026 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $96.020 million supports the procurement of: 279 each Unit Water Trailer (Water Bison) - G16011 11 each Water Storage Distribution Sets (WSDS) - M13300 9 each 3K GPH Tactical Water Purification Systems (TWPS) - R02680 1 each Early Entry Fluid Distribution System (E2FDS) - R02690 112 each Mobile Tactical Retail Refueling System (MTRRS) - R38000 242 each Load Handling System (LHS) Compatible Water Tank Racks System (Hippo) - R38100 54 each Chemical Biological Radiation Nuclear (CBRN) Water Hauler - R38111 118 each Petroleum Expeditionary Analysis Kit (PEAK) - R38113 This funding also supports engineering changes, system engineering/program management costs, system test & evaluation, training, logistics products, support equipment and fielding for all systems. FY 2026 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $7.734 million supports the procurement of 1 E2FDS in support of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI). This is a decrease of $0.241 million from the FY 2025 requested level. The FY26 request increased over FY25 due to significant increases to PAWS programs to reach Army 2030 fielding targets and replace legacy system reaching the end of economical useful life (EUL) in service. The Army is the executive agent for the Management of Land-Based Water Resources in support of Contingency Operations and has responsibility for all inland distribution of fuel and water to include support to other services. Distribution Systems support the Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCTs), Brigade Combat Teams, Field Artillery, Maneuver Enhancement Brigades, and the Petroleum and Water Quartermaster (QM) modular force war fighting capabilities. These systems are the Army's primary means of distributing and issuing retail and bulk petroleum and water. The Army cannot fight without clean water and fuel. These systems enable the Army to achieve its Army 2030 requirement by providing highly mobile and self-sustaining equipment to hostile theaters of operation. The ability to rapidly, efficiently, and safely distribute fuel and water on the battlefield is a critical combat enabler. Funding supports a balanced investment strategy to support the Army's approved force structure, Regionally Aligned Readiness and Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) for Active, National Guard, and Reserve Components In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities. This program is included in the OPA Budget Line Consolidation. In FY 2025, the QUALITY SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT (MB6400) was consolidated into the Distribution Systems, Petroleum & Water (MA6000) program.

Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →

Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

Contractor concentration

No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
