FY25 Glycol Recovery Vehicles

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command's 28th Contracting Squadron at Ellsworth Air Force Base is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice for the procurement of two Glycol Recovery Vehicles. These specialized medium-duty trucks are designed for glycol recovery operations and must meet detailed technical specifications including a full truck chassis with 33,000 lbs gross combined weight, diesel engine with 220 hp, and an 8.5 cubic yard stainless steel hopper with water-tight features. The vehicles must include advanced components such as a center-mounted master control panel, variable-speed exhauster fan, dust suppression system certified to EUnited PM10 4* standards, and a 410-gallon water tank capacity. Interested manufacturers must submit detailed capabilities statements demonstrating their ability to meet vehicle requirements, including company information, socioeconomic status, past project experience, and estimated lead times. All responses must be submitted by 12:01 PM Mountain Standard Time on August 8, 2025, and interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, targeting businesses classified under NAICS code 336120 for Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing. The government is procuring exactly two Glycol Recovery Vehicles for fiscal year 2025, with the Product Service Code 2320 for Trucks and Truck Tractors. No incumbent contractors or current providers are identified in the documentation, as this appears to be a market research phase to determine competitive sources. The Sources Sought Notice does not specify award values or budget ranges, focusing instead on identifying qualified manufacturers capable of producing these specialized vehicles. The market research aims to determine if adequate competition exists before issuing a future solicitation, which will be posted on SAM.gov following completion of this sources sought process.
