Sailent Characteristics Fuel Bowser.docx

This document contains the salient characteristics specification for a trailer-mounted mobile fuel bowser that the 7th Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command is seeking through a Sources Sought market research notice (FA466126Q0037). The Government is conducting preliminary market research to identify potential sources, including small businesses, capable of providing this equipment before determining the acquisition method and issuing a formal solicitation.

The mobile fuel bowser must be a dual-axle trailer with electric brakes, towable at highway speeds, and suitable for heavy-duty off-road and remote operations without requiring special driver certification. Key specifications include a 500-gallon internally baffled fuel tank with fuel level gauge, diesel-driven fuel pump with electric start, mechanical fuel dispensing meter, 1-inch by 50-foot diesel fuel hose with high-flow swivel and nozzle, and a 50-foot static discharge reel. Additional required features include electric trailer jack, safety tow chains, adjustable height hitch, DOT trailer lighting, work lights, solar battery charger, spill containment kit, lockable security cabinets, filtration system, weather-resistant construction, and an air compressor with hose and reel. The equipment is required for delivery to Dyess Air Force Base, Texas 79607. As this is a Sources Sought notice for market research purposes only, it does not constitute a binding commitment to contract and interested parties should submit capability statements to indicate their ability to meet these specifications.
