57 RQS Mobility Trailers
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 57th Rescue Squadron, is conducting market research for Ground Mobility Trailers designed for specialized military operations. The pre-solicitation seeks industry feedback on trailers with specific technical requirements, including accommodations for 6-8 personnel, a hub drive system for enhanced off-road capabilities, and a maximum weight of 6,000 lbs. The trailers must feature two workstations with racking and cabling infrastructure, have globally available replacement parts, and potentially include armor options. The market research period is open from February 18, 2025, to February 28, 2025, with the primary objective of gathering detailed information from potential manufacturers about their ability to meet the Air Force's specialized mobility trailer specifications. No contract award will be made directly from this market research solicitation, which is intended to refine requirements and assess industry capabilities.
The pre-solicitation does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, suggesting the opportunity will be open to all qualified vendors within the Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing NAICS category. The proposed trailers must include advanced features such as dual power systems (diesel generator and solar), climate control for extreme temperatures ranging from -20°F to 100°F, and comprehensive communications capabilities including Starshield terminal and multiple antenna mounts. While no specific award value is mentioned, the detailed technical requirements suggest a sophisticated and potentially high-value procurement. The trailer must be compatible with F-250 towing, feature Twin XL-sized beds that can convert to medical litters, and maintain a military-appropriate aesthetic in dark green or flat dark earth coloration. The comprehensive specifications indicate the Air Force is seeking a highly specialized, multipurpose mobility solution for rescue and special warfare operations.

The solicitation will be released on or around December 30, 2024, with proposals due by March 17, 2025.

Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and will need to comply with specific contractual requirements, including First Article Testing provisions.
The contract requires delivery of the base quantity within 870 days after award (with First Article Testing) or 360 days if FAT is waived, with the option quantity delivery set at 360 days.

The procurement falls under NAICS category 336992 for Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing, and PSC category 1290 for Miscellaneous Fire Control Equipment. While no specific set-aside is indicated, the solicitation is strictly limited to SCI Technology as the sole source manufacturer. The technical data package will only be available to this manufacturer, which further restricts potential competition. Contractors interested in this opportunity must carefully review all specifications and be prepared to meet the stringent registration and participation requirements outlined in the solicitation.
