PKAA Brush Truck

The Department of Air Force Global Strike Command is seeking sources for a specialized Wildland Brush Truck, a comprehensive firefighting vehicle unit designed to be mounted on single-cab pickup trucks. This pre-solicitation notice is a "sources sought" request focused on gathering vendor capabilities and feedback regarding a draft specification for an end-mount slip-on firefighting unit with specific technical requirements. The solicitation targets vendors who can provide a brush truck with a 400-gallon fully baffled poly tank, 10-gallon foam cell, 18HP Briggs & Stratton motor, CF-120 pump, and a detailed flatbed/storage package. Vendors are specifically asked to respond to seven targeted questions about equipment availability, delivery timelines, installation capabilities, and technical specifications. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 21, 2025, with responses due by April 29, 2025, indicating a tight timeline for vendor engagement.

The current solicitation does not have a specific set-aside designation and is open to qualified vendors. The draft specification requires complete installation of the brush truck unit within 364 calendar days of contract award, though the government is seeking vendor input on the realistic achievability of this timeline. The procurement will utilize NAICS category 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) and PSC category 5340 (Commercial Hardware). While specific award values are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the document suggests a comprehensive and technical procurement process that will require vendors to demonstrate precise manufacturing capabilities, logistical readiness, and the ability to meet exact specifications for a specialized firefighting vehicle unit. Vendors are expected to provide precise, detailed responses rather than general statements of interest.
