Articulating Aerial Fire Truck

The Bureau of Reclamation is conducting market research for a planned acquisition of a 101-foot articulating aerial fire truck, with capability statements due November 12, 2026. No set-aside is used. This is a pre-solicitation notice for planning purposes only. It is not a solicitation and does not commit the Government to award. The apparatus is for fire protection at the Grand Coulee Power Office in Washington State. Classification is NAICS 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing) and PSC 2320.

The draft specifications attachment, a Word document, requires compliance with NFPA 1901, 1902, and 2016, DOT, EPA, FMVSS, and SAE standards. Key requirements include a 600 HP diesel turbocharged engine, a single-stage midship-mounted fire pump rated at 2,250 GPM at 150 PSI, a 300-gallon polypropylene water tank, and a three-section, 101-foot articulating aerial device with a 10.5-foot jib boom and self-leveling platform basket. The chassis uses three parallel C-style rails with a lifetime warranty on frame and cross members. The specifications also call for hot-dip galvanization and Underwriters Laboratories testing and certification. Delivery terms require a pre-delivery inspection at the manufacturer's facility, factory-trained specialist instruction with a minimum of three days of training at the Grand Coulee Power Office, and printed and electronic manuals, CAD drawings, and as-built wiring diagrams.

Capability statements must include company name and point of contact, SAM UEI, small business size or certification (including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB), and evidence of recent and relevant experience meeting the specifications. The notice names no industry day, incumbent, quantity, period of performance, or budget.
