About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Florida Army National Guard intends to solicit five Towable Expeditionary Shelter System–Small (TESS-S) units, with a pre-solicitation notice due date of July 13, 2026 and a revised delivery deadline of December 31, 2026. No set-aside applies.
Performance is at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, Starke, Florida, with FOB Destination shipping and the contractor bearing all transportation costs.
The TESS-S is a self-contained, rapid-deployment hard-sided mobile workstation integrated onto a standard military HMMWV towable trailer chassis, designed for command and control and administrative operations in austere and expeditionary environments. The system must be transportable via road, rail, sea, and air, including compatibility with 463L pallets and helicopter sling-load operations, and capable of traversing challenging off-road terrain. The containerized chassis design features hardened sides and folding floors that create a protective shell during transport.
The deployed shelter shall provide a minimum of 86 square feet of usable, climate-controlled, and insulated interior workspace and be deployable and mission-ready in under six minutes by a maximum of two trained personnel without special tools or material handling equipment. The system must include an integrated multi-fuel power generation system providing AC and 24VDC power, an integrated HVAC system for global climate control, and LED lighting with standard white and tactical green light modes. All exterior waterproof fabric components must be Berry Compliant and meet MIL-PRF-44103D specifications; construction materials (aluminum and composites) must meet or exceed MIL-STD-810G/H environmental and mechanical specifications. The contractor shall provide complete technical manuals for operation and field-level maintenance. Amendment 01, posted July 10, 2026, clarified the containerization design requirement and corrected the delivery date from July 31 to December 31, 2026.

This Purchase Description defines the requirements for a Towable Expeditionary Shelter System – Small (TESS-S). The system shall be a self-contained, rapid-deployment, hard-sided mobile workstation designed for command and control (C2) and administrative operations in austere and expeditionary environments. The system is intended to provide a climate-controlled, insulated, and mobile workspace that can be quickly emplaced and displaced to support agile and distributed military operations.
1.0 Salient Characteristics
The TESS-S shall meet the following minimum essential requirements. The contractor may offer a system with characteristics that meet or exceed these specifications.
1.1 System Configuration and Mobility:
• The system shall be fully integrated onto a standard military High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) towable trailer chassis.
• The design shall be containerized to protect internal components during transport.
• The system must be transportable via road, rail, sea, and air, to include compatibility with a 463L pallet and helicopter sling-load operations.
• The entire system must be engineered for high mobility and capable of traversing challenging, off-road terrain.
1.2 Deployment and Workspace:
• The system shall be deployable and mission-ready in under six (6) minutes by a maximum of two (2) trained personnel without the need for special tools or material handling equipment.
• When deployed, the expandable shelter shall provide a minimum of 86 square feet of usable, climate-controlled, and insulated interior workspace.
• The shelter shall feature a hard-sided, expandable container design. The deployed structure may utilize a hybrid of hard-sided and soft-sided (textile) materials.
• The shelter must be equipped with integrated, multi-layer fabric covers that are fully insulated and provide a complete blackout capability for light discipline.
1.3 Integrated Support Systems:
• Power: The system shall include an integrated power generation system (e.g., multi-fuel generator) and power distribution network to support all onboard equipment and user-provided devices. It must provide both AC and 24VDC power options.
