REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)

SUBJECT: Request for Information (RFI) – Functional Fitness Container (Beaverfit TL-8H or Equal)

DATE: 07/24/2026

RESPONSE DUE

DATE:

07/30/2026

ISSUING AGENCY: United States Air Force (USAF), Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS)

1.0 INTRODUCTION & DISCLAIMER

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is issued for the purpose of market research to determine the interest and capabilities of vendors to provide functional fitness containers that meet the minimum salient characteristics detailed below. The Government is seeking information on products equivalent to a Beaverfit (Manufacturer Part Number TL-8H) functional fitness container.

This is not a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain knowledge of the capabilities, interest, and potential sources available. The Government will not award a contract based on this RFI or reimburse any costs associated with preparing a response.

2.0 BACKGROUND & PURPOSE

The United States Air Force (USAF) requires a solution to support the daily Physical Training (PT) requirements for the Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS). Because the LRS is a high-tempo, 24/7 mission-essential squadron, personnel operate on continuous, rotating shift schedules. The squadron's work area is not co-located with a standard base fitness center, making off-shift travel to a gym logistically impractical.

The acquisition of containerized gyms will provide a localized, self-contained physical training platform directly at the LRS work site. This ensures that LRS personnel across all operational shifts have unrestricted, round-the-clock access to training equipment to maintain combat readiness, meet mandatory USAF fitness assessment standards, and mitigate workplace injuries.

3.0 SCOPE OF REQUIREMENT

The Government requires two (2) freestanding, outdoor-rated, 8-foot (minimum) functional fitness containers capable of serving as both secure equipment storage units and multi-modality training rigs. The system must natively support high-throughput, tactical physical readiness training for up to 60 personnel simultaneously per unit.
