Type I Family of All Terrain Crane (FOATC) SOURCES SOUGHT Distribution Statement A. Approved for Public Release.

The U.S. Army is seeking information to assess the availability of sources to meet the Government’s requirement for the Type I Family of All Terrain Crane (FOATC) vehicles, ancillary equipment, and system services. The paragraph(s) below contains additional information regarding the questionnaire and its subject. If you need further communications with the Army concerning this questionnaire, you may contact June Brown , via email at june.e.brown13.civ@army.mil. We thank you in advance for your time and participation in this Sources Sought Questionnaire.

Objectives The objective of this Sources Sought Questionnaire is to better understand the availability and capabilities of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) or other sources for vehicle systems meeting the FOATC T1 requirements, ancillary equipment, and system services. The Type I FOATC is a diesel engine-driven, pneumatic tired, continuously revolving superstructure and cab, hydraulic operated, all-terrain, telescoping boom crane. The FOATC is conveyable by rail, marine, highway and air modes of transportation.

The Army plans on procuring an estimated 52 FOATC T1’s over a minimum of two, maximum of five one-year ordering periods. The quantities identified and length of contract are not binding and are subject to change. The information gathered by the Army through this questionnaire, along with other market investigation data, is solely intended for use by the U.S. Army and will not be shared amongst competing companies. For instructions and more information regarding proprietary information, please refer to the Proprietary of this document. Participation in this Sources Sought Questionnaire by the various contractors is considered low risk to the commercial companies, as responses will be treated per the Proprietary section.
