The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring two TRANSCUBE Global Series Transportable Fuel Storage Tanks, each with a 525 US gallon capacity and UN approval, equipped with Western Pump Kits for Pony Diesel applications. The solicitation requires contractors to provide FOB destination pricing to Silverdale, Washington, along with lead time information and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 requirements unless the items qualify as Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products. Bidders must submit completed solicitations with proper signatures, CAGE codes, tax liability representations, manufacturer information including country of origin, and responses to specific regulatory requirements outlined in boxes 28, 30, and 52.204-24.

The solicitation was posted on August 18, 2025, with quotes due by 10:00 AM on August 20, 2025, allowing only two days for response preparation.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333998 with a size standard of 700 employees, targeting small business contractors in the miscellaneous general purpose machinery manufacturing sector. TRANSCUBE appears to be the sole source manufacturer for these specialized fuel pods, as indicated in the accompanying sole source justification document that identifies them as the exclusive provider of compatible replacement components for existing Anti-Submarine Warfare systems.
