The Department of the Air Force Special Operations Command has issued a Special Notice for a specialized lease of an Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicle at Cannon Air Force Base. The notice seeks to procure a 1,500-gallon ARFF firefighting truck for a 3-month initial lease period, with an option to extend services for an additional 6 months. The urgent requirement stems from a critical shortage of operational crash trucks, with only 2 out of 7 vehicles currently functional across Cannon AFB and MAFR locations. The procurement is classified under the NAICS category 532120 for truck and vehicle rental and leasing. The opportunity was posted on February 6, 2025, with a response deadline of February 22, 2025.

The primary objective of this special notice is to address an immediate operational need for firefighting capabilities supporting C-130 aircraft missions. Market research conducted by the contracting office revealed limited alternatives, with Fire Trucks Unlimited being the sole provider of a suitable quote at $83,000. The justification for this single-source procurement is based on FAR 6.302-2(a)(2), citing urgent operational requirements and the impending return of a loaner vehicle from Goodfellow AFB by February's end. The lease is critical to maintaining minimum firefighting capability of 3,740 gallons required for mission support. While no specific set-aside was indicated, potential contractors should carefully review the attached Single Source Justification document and be prepared to meet the tight timeline and specialized vehicle requirements. The lease period is scheduled from March 1 to December 31, 2025, with potential for a 6-month extension.
