About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New York has issued a Special Notice for a design-bid-build construction project at the Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) Fire Station. The notice specifically focuses on acquiring a proprietary vehicle exhaust removal system for fire engines and large vehicles within the facility. The project is planned for fiscal year 2025 and involves procuring a brand name or equivalent exhaust system manufactured by Plymovent. The notice is classified under the Commercial and Institutional Building Construction NAICS category and does not have a specific set-aside designation. The opportunity was posted on March 21, 2025, with a response due date of March 5, 2025.
The primary purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources capable of providing a vehicle exhaust removal system that meets specific technical requirements. The system must effectively capture and remove diesel exhaust emissions, with compatibility being a critical factor for the existing fire engine infrastructure. Contractors must ensure the proposed system can integrate with the current brake pedal-activated exhaust fan mechanism, which automatically starts when a vehicle is being prepared to operate indoors. The notice emphasizes that if an alternative manufacturer's system is proposed, existing vehicles may require switch replacements to maintain full functionality. While this is not a formal Request for Proposal, it serves to notify potential offerors of the government's intent to solicit brand name components and explore equivalent alternatives. Interested contractors should carefully review the technical specifications and infrastructure compatibility requirements before responding to the market research inquiry.
Notice text
1. The New York District plans to solicit and award a design bid build construction project for subject project in FY25.
2. This notification serves three (3) purposes:
A. To notify potential offerors of the Government’s intent to solicit a brand name only components for this project as per FAR 6.302-1(c).
B. To identify potential sources that can provide an equivalent to the brand name only item(s).

- This is a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) issued for market research purposes only. This is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a guarantee of a future solicitation. Seeking information from industry to identify potential sources capable of providing a proprietary vehicle exhaust removal system for its fire station, similar to systems manufactured by Plymovent. The WVA Fire Station requires a vehicle exhaust removal system that effectively captures and removes diesel exhaust emissions from fire trucks and other large vehicles housed within the facility. The system must meet specific requirements related to airflow, hose connections, safety features, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) Fire Station proprietary vehicle exhaust system for the Fire Engines is Plymovent which allows the station to achieve full functionality and compliance with applicable Codes and Standards. The requirement is to provide the building with equipment will be compatible with the Fire Engine’s existing infrastructure & proprietary design already installed on the existing fire vehicles. The proposed vehicle exhaust system is linked to the brake pedal of each fire engine that is housed at the fire station. When the brake pedal is pressed, likely to start the vehicle indoors, the switch on the brake pedal automatically starts the vehicle exhaust fan. This purpose of this fan is to extract the exhaust fumes directly from the tailpipe of the vehicle, preventing toxic fumes from entering the apparatus bay. If not compatible, the existing vehicles will need to have the switches removed and replaced with the alternate manufacturer’s hardware to ensure compatibility with the new system.
