About this file
The document is a Salient Characteristics specification for a Military Working Dog (MWD) Trailer, detailing precise requirements for a 10-stall tandem axel stainless steel transport trailer. The trailer must accommodate military working dogs with specific design features including secure enclosures, climate control capabilities maintaining temperatures between 45-85 degrees, individual stall dimensions of 29" X 40" X 36", and comprehensive environmental controls such as ducted air conditioning, ventilation, and drainage systems.
Key technical specifications include a secondary air conditioner, hot dog pager alarm system to monitor temperature extremes, welded interior bar doors with latching mechanisms, uniformly diffused lighting, and exterior placards reading "Caution: Military Working Dog" in black or red lettering. The trailer design emphasizes animal safety and comfort, with requirements for floors that protect dogs' feet, allow easy cleaning and sanitization, provide sufficient movement space, and shield animals from extreme weather conditions. This specification is part of a Sources Sought notice by the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command to conduct market research for potential trailer manufacturers under NAICS code 336212 Truck Trailer Manufacturing.
