About this opportunity
GSA Federal Acquisition Service has issued Special Notice 47QMCA26N0048 soliciting industry information regarding its acquisition strategy for approximately 37 34-ton stake breakbulk trailers for the Department of Navy. This special notice, posted on April 16, 2026, with a response deadline of April 21, 2026, represents a request for information (RFI) rather than a formal solicitation, allowing GSA to gather industry insights on technical feasibility, pricing, and supply chain capabilities. Prospective contractors are encouraged to review the attached Purchase Description (PD) and special notice document in their entirety before submitting responses. Interested parties must submit their information directly to GSA representatives Ed Hodges and Ted Croshore via email, referencing the opportunity number in the subject line. This acquisition is set aside exclusively for small businesses.
The primary objective of this notice is to inform GSA's procurement and technical strategy for these military-purpose trailers, which must meet stringent specifications including Air Transportability (ATTLA) certification and compatibility with five specified government-owned tractor models. GSA has indicated that evaluation will employ a Highest Technically Rated with Fair and Reasonable Price (HTRP) model, meaning the award will be made to the highest technically-ranked offeror provided their price is fair and reasonable. Contractors responding must demonstrate "Decision Ready" capabilities through concrete evidence such as CAD models, weight estimates, stress analyses, and ATTLA certifications for comparable trailers, along with price justification supported by at least two recent commercial sales examples within three years. Key technical requirements include a 70,000-pound capacity steel frame, maximum length of 48 feet, compatibility with various ISO and TRICON containers, air ride suspension, military-grade modifications including winch tracks and twist locks, and a comprehensive 60-month bumper-to-bumper warranty. Small businesses meeting the truck trailer manufacturing classification are eligible to participate in this acquisition.
