Request for Information (RFI)

Tier 2 Gooseneck Mobile Command Post Vehicle (MCPV) Trailer

10 APRIL 2026

1. Notice Type

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued for market research purposes only. This is not a solicitation and does not constitute a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract.

2. Background

The Government is seeking industry input regarding the design, development, and production of Tier 2 Gooseneck Mobile Command Post Vehicle (MCPV) Trailer systems to support mission-critical operations. These Tier 2 MCPV Trailers are intended to provide mobile command, control, communications, and computing (C4) capabilities in support of emergency response, major investigations, special events, and interagency coordination.

The Government anticipates a future Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the design-build and sustainment of these systems. For planning purposes only, the Government estimates a potential requirement of approximately 13 to 20 MCPV trailer systems over a five-year ordering period, averaging approximately 3 to 4 units per year. This estimate is provided solely for market research purposes and does not represent a commitment or guarantee.

3. Purpose

The purpose of this RFI is to:

• Identify capable and qualified vendors

• Assess industry capabilities and innovative solutions

• Refine the Government’s acquisition strategy and requirements

• Obtain feedback on a performance-based approach (SOO/PWS)

• Identify risks, cost drivers, and schedule considerations

4. Scope of Potential Requirement

The Government is interested in solutions capable of:

• Designing and manufacturing mobile command post trailers (gooseneck configuration)

• Integrating advanced communications systems, including:

o Satellite (LEO preferred) o RF communications o Cellular systems

• Providing self-contained power systems with redundancy

• Supporting 15–20 personnel in a mobile workspace

• Delivering secure, interoperable C4 capabilities

• Providing lifecycle sustainment and support

5. Requested Information

Interested vendors are requested to provide the following:

5.1 Company Information

• Company name, address, and point of contact

• Business size and socio-economic status

5.2 Capability Statement

Provide a summary of your company’s ability to:

• Design and manufacture mobile command vehicles or similar platforms

• Integrate communications, power, and IT systems

• Deliver complex vehicle-based systems under IDIQ contracts

• Provide nationwide maintenance and sustainment support

Include examples of previous projects of similar size and complexity.

5.3 Technical Approach (Conceptual)

Provide a high-level description of your approach to:

• Tier 2 MCPV trailer design (layout, materials, expandability)

• Power generation and redundancy strategy

• Communications architecture

• Integration with a prime hauler vehicle

• Modularity and upgradeability

5.4 Performance-Based Acquisition Feedback

The Government intends to use a Statement of Objectives (SOO) with an offeror-proposed PWS approach.

• Estimated cost drivers (e.g., communications, power, materials)

• Cost differences between baseline vs. advanced configurations

5.6 Schedule

Provide estimated timelines for:

• Design phase

• Prototype delivery

• Production lead times

5.7 Industry Feedback

Provide input on:

• Key technical risks

• Supply chain considerations

• Warranty and sustainment best practices
