The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service is procuring seventeen (17) 60-ton lowbed trailers on behalf of the Department of the Navy under RFQ 47QMCA26Q0040.

The Government will evaluate proposals based on technical compliance with specifications, special features exceeding specifications, warranty considerations, past performance on similar projects, and delivery terms, with non-price factors being significantly more important than price. Award will be made on a firm-fixed-price basis to a single offeror, with the Government reserving the right to pay via electronic funds transfer through GSA Fleet systems portals.
