About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking to procure a Draft Commander 3000 Apparatus Pump Testing Unit, a mobile fire pump testing and training system designed to perform true pump tests from draft with suction lift capability requiring a primer in accordance with NFPA 1911 (2017 Edition). The system must support pump testing up to 3,000 GPM and enable training operations using recycled water. This procurement falls under NAICS code 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) and PSC code 4210 (Fire Fighting Equipment). The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 7, 2026, with a due date for responses by April 10, 2026, providing a narrow three-day window for interested parties to submit information or questions regarding this opportunity. While the specific evaluation criteria are outlined in the attached government files, potential vendors should review the SAM RFI – Draft Commander.pdf and Salient Characteristics Draft Commander.pdf documents for comprehensive details on technical requirements and assessment methodology.
This contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify the incumbent contractor, contract award value, or budget range at this stage; interested vendors should consult the government files for any additional financial or incumbent information that may be available. The procurement focuses on the system's capacity to perform pump testing up to 3,000 GPM, representing the key performance specification for this equipment. As this is a pre-solicitation notice rather than a full solicitation, small businesses should use this period to prepare their responses and clarify any requirements before the formal Request for Proposal or Request for Quote is released. Vendors are encouraged to submit questions during the pre-solicitation phase to ensure they fully understand the government's requirements and capability expectations.
