CR - Special Fueling Operations

The Department of the Army National Guard is seeking to procure a tailored Special Fueling Operations (SFO) kit designed to support Contingency Response Forces (CRF) in establishing air mobility operations in degraded and austere environments where traditional infrastructure is unavailable. The primary requirement focuses on man-portable fuel pumps capable of delivering 300 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) with pressure regulation of +/- 50 PSI, an integrated dead man switch, and the ability to fit within the cargo capacity of an MRZR vehicle. The SFO kit will enable rapid setup of safe fueling storage and multi-platform refueling operations to support mobility, ISR, and tactical aircraft. This pre-solicitation notice is strictly for market research and sources sought purposes, with responses due by April 30, 2026. The government will evaluate offerors' capabilities to meet the technical specifications and provide flexible, reliable fueling solutions suitable for CRF operations.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to certified small business entities. The Independent Government Cost Estimate identifies ten line items (CLINs 0001-0010) including fuel pumps, fuel filters, 2-inch diameter hoses (130x100 feet), 3,000-gallon fuel bladders, 10,000-gallon fuel berms, and associated SFO accessories, with quantities ranging from 2 to 12 units depending on the item. The IGCE document currently shows blank unit and extended prices as this is a preliminary cost estimate awaiting market research completion. The solicitation number is 123CRSFO, and the classified NAICS code is 333914 (Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing) with PSC category 4930 (Lubrication and Fuel Dispensing Equipment). No incumbent contractor or specific budget range has been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage.
