The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service is soliciting quotations for two potable water trucks with one option period, with proposals due June 18, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336211, Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing.

One truck is designated for delivery to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, and the second to Newington, New Hampshire. The procurement requires quoters to be certified small businesses with valid SAM registration.

Technical requirements specify a 250-gallon potable water truck based on a commercial truck chassis with stainless steel cargo tank construction. The pumping system must deliver a minimum of 20 GPM at 40 PSI with a squeeze control valve and corrosion-resistant LED flow meter.

The diesel engine must comply with stringent EPA emission standards, with automatic transmission (minimum five forward gears), power-assisted steering, and hydraulic or air brakes with antilock systems. Overall dimensions are limited to 288 inches length, 96 inches width, and 85 inches height.

Award will be made as a firm-fixed-price motor vehicle delivery order to the highest technically rated quoter offering a fair and reasonable price.
