TPY-4 Transportation Requirement

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hanscom Air Force Base is seeking qualified transportation providers through a Sources Sought notice to transport military radar equipment from White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico to a Lockheed Martin facility in Liverpool, New York. The procurement is for dedicated transportation services of one AN/TPY-4 radar system and associated components across approximately 2,160 miles, requiring vehicles including a 48-53 foot stepdeck trailer with 48,000 lbs payload capacity, a 15-16 foot van with liftgate, and a 20-26 foot dedicated truck with liftgate. Interested contractors must demonstrate expertise in military transportation logistics, possess qualified security-cleared drivers with military installation access, carry appropriate licenses and insurance, and be capable of identifying and securing necessary permits for oversized or overweight loads. The government will use this Sources Sought to evaluate the capabilities, qualifications, and interest of potential contractors to ensure adequate competition; prior government contract work is not required to respond. The response deadline is February 13, 2026, and interested firms should submit detailed Capabilities Statements addressing their expertise in the specified transportation requirements.

No set-aside designations apply to this procurement, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the available documentation. The specific award value and budget range have not been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Key numerical details include the approximately 2,160-mile transportation distance, with cargo weights of no more than 30,000 lbs for the transceiver group and 27,000 lbs for the processor group. Pricing is to be submitted as equipment and driver costs with per-mile rates for each vehicle type multiplied by the 2,160-mile distance, though the final contract value will depend on the selected contractor's pricing structure and the government's procurement approach, which has not yet been finalized. The government will provide all loading and unloading personnel and material handling equipment, limiting the contractor's responsibility to vehicle positioning and safe, secure transportation of cargo with appropriate documentation upon delivery.
