About this opportunity
The Department of the Army is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market research on tire fire suppression bottles designed for the Stryker Family of Vehicles (FoVs). These fire suppression bottles are intended to extinguish tire fires on military vehicles, thereby ensuring crew safety and operational readiness in high-risk environments. Interested firms must complete a comprehensive workbook provided by the government, with responses submitted across designated tabs addressing company information, technical requirements, and manufacturing capabilities. All firms, regardless of size, are encouraged to respond to this voluntary market survey, which serves informational purposes only and does not constitute a binding solicitation or commitment to award a contract. The final deadline for responses is February 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, with submissions directed via email to Taylor Ferguson at Taylor.D.Ferguson10.civ@army.mil. It is important to note that this is not a request for proposal, funds are not available to compensate respondents for preparation costs, and participation is not required for future contract eligibility.
The Army seeks between 1,200 and 1,800 fire suppression bottles and has not designated any set-aside category for this procurement. No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The technical specifications are extensive, requiring bottles with a minimum volume of 800 cubic inches, specific dimensional constraints (7.75-inch outside diameter, 22-29 inches height, maximum 70 pounds when fully charged), and filled with 3 gallons of aqueous PFAS-free foam premix Ansul LVS NF-40 pressurized to 500 PSIG. Additional requirements include operation across extreme temperature ranges from -40°F to 160°F, compliance with Department of Transportation standards, electrical interface compatibility via Deutsch DT04-2P connector with 50-millisecond pulse initiation, and discharge of 95-90% of the agent within 0.5 seconds. The Government may schedule one-on-one meetings with interested industry participants to further discuss the market research information provided in responses.
