About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of a Fat Truck and maintenance services through the 354th Contracting Squadron. This procurement seeks a commercially available, highly mobile, all-terrain amphibious personnel carrier with a dedicated amphibious trailer and comprehensive 5-year maintenance services specifically designed for extreme Arctic operations in Alaska. The vehicle must accommodate 8 passengers while weighing under 6,500 lbs and feature specialized components including a 74 HP 4-cylinder diesel engine, hydrostatic steering and transmission, and joystick controls. The estimated contract value is $354,200, and the procurement is structured as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 authority. The Special Notice was posted on September 25, 2025, with responses due by October 9, 2025.
The procurement's primary objective is to acquire specialized equipment capable of supporting all-terrain operations in extreme Arctic conditions, including the ability to tow 2,200 lbs, climb 35-degree inclines, and operate on 22-degree sidehills. The maintenance component requires scheduled services every 500 operating hours, emergency repair services with a 3-hour response time, and must be performed by trained personnel in Fairbanks, Alaska. Market research conducted by the government determined that the Fat Truck represents the optimal solution due to its unique operational capabilities and the contractor's status as the only authorized distributor and service center for Fat Trucks in Alaska. The vehicle must meet stringent environmental standards including EPS Tier 4 Final EU Stage V emissions requirements and include comprehensive Arctic weather packages with heaters, ventilation systems, and safety equipment. Contractors interested in this opportunity must demonstrate capability to provide the specialized vehicle, maintenance services, compliance with all applicable regulations, and comprehensive record-keeping requirements.
