1.0. SCOPE and BACKGROUND

Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) has a requirement to replace an aging fleet of trailers based on current mission and support requirements. NAVFAC EXWC has documented requirements to address shortcomings of the current fleet that at a minimum comply with Military (MIL), American Welding Society (AWS) and Society of American Engineer (SAE) standards for tactical and commercial trailers. Compliance with these government and non-government standards introduces commonality with other military, Department of Defense (DOD), and civilian trailers, allowing fleet and joint operations to utilize the capabilities to their fullest. The trailers will also support operational readiness and functionality in austere conditions.
