About this opportunity
The Colorado Army National Guard's 140th Mission Support Group at Buckley Space Force Base is conducting market research for a 1,100-gallon deicing towable trailer to support critical runway and taxiway maintenance operations. This sources sought notice seeks information from companies capable of providing a specialized deicing trailer that must hold 1,000 gallons with a minimum 20-foot spray width to support the Wing's 24/7, 365-day no-fail mission. Key technical requirements include a stainless steel reservoir, hydraulically operated boom system with 50-foot spray arm, in-cab remote engine controls, LED safety lighting, and a frame construction that keeps the fully loaded trailer weight under 12,500 pounds. Interested companies must provide company information including UEI number, contact details, business size classifications, and demonstrate their qualifications and capability to deliver this specialized equipment. The response deadline for this market research inquiry is August 18, 2025, giving potential vendors six days from the posting date to submit their information.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, restricting competition to small business concerns and their various socioeconomic subcategories including HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business entities. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the notice, suggesting this may be a new requirement or the government is exploring alternative sources. The notice does not specify any estimated contract values, budget ranges, or anticipated award amounts, as this is strictly a market research exercise rather than a formal solicitation. The requirement is for a single deicing trailer unit, with no mention of multiple quantities or options for additional units. The timeline for actual procurement and delivery is not established in this sources sought notice, as the government is still in the preliminary market research phase to determine industry capabilities and interest levels.
