The government anticipates awarding a single firm fixed-price contract, though multiple awards are possible if more advantageous to the government.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 336999 (All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the solicitation documents. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the specialized nature of the 8-wheel amphibious UTV with extensive equipment suggests a significant procurement investment.
