About this award
Foremost Industries LP was awarded a $11.3M firm fixed price contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), on September 30, 2025, for the design and manufacture of six Antarctic-capable Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) prime mover vehicles. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, requires delivery of four tracked and two wheeled vehicles capable of operating in extreme Antarctic conditions down to -40°C with low ground pressure and a 7.5-ton payload capacity. Each vehicle must accommodate a driver plus 3-5 passengers and traverse deep snow and compacted gravel surfaces. The prime movers will be delivered to ERDC's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) facility in Hanover, New Hampshire, with subsequent transport to the National Science Foundation's McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
Work is scheduled for completion by July 3, 2027. The procurement was conducted as an unrestricted competition under NAICS code 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing) with evaluation criteria based on technical approach, past experience, and firm fixed price. The fire suppression system production and integration will be handled separately under a future contract to be awarded to a different manufacturer. As a Western Canadian heavy equipment manufacturer specializing in custom engineering and industrial fabrication, Foremost Industries LP brings relevant experience in large vehicle platform production to support this specialized Antarctic research and rescue mission.
