About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a federal contract opportunity to repair a fire truck water tanker at Edwards Air Force Base.
The asset requiring repair is a 2011 International 7400 fire truck with VIN#1HTWGAZT4CJ605374, equipped with a 4,000-gallon Pro-Poly America tank (model GSO 8307). All repair and installation work must be completed at the contractor's facility rather than on-site at Edwards AFB, with transportation to be coordinated by the Department of Defense within reasonable operating distance. Contractors seeking technically accurate quotations should reference the tank manufacturer (Pro-Poly America), vehicle VIN, build number, and known tank capacity of 4,000 gallons. The document clarifies that while Pro-Poly America tanks are still available through market research, procurement timelines may be constrained. The government indicated openness to alternative solutions such as retrofit stainless steel tank options, subject to approval, though such modifications could potentially extend procurement timeframes beyond available schedules.
