Tree Reefer Gen Set

The USDA Forest Service is seeking to procure two clip-on reefer electrical generators for the Lincoln National Forest through solicitation 127EAV25Q0045. These specialized diesel-powered generators must provide 440-480 Volts AC at 60 Hz, 3-phase power with a prime output of 15 kW and standby output of 16.0 kW, featuring a 4-liter Mitsubishi S4L2 engine that meets EPA Tier 4 Final and CARB certification requirements. The generators must be manufactured in the USA and include a clamping mechanism for attachment to metal storage containers without requiring drilling or welding. The procurement will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, meaning the government will award to the lowest-priced vendor whose proposal meets all technical specifications. Pre-award questions must be submitted by August 21, 2025, with all quotes due no later than August 29, 2025, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time to Contracting Specialist Ma Estrellita Dasmarinas.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 335311 (Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing), with no incumbent contractors identified as this procurement is for new equipment rather than replacement units. The contract requires delivery of both generator units within 90 days after award, with performance at the Alamogordo Air Tanker Base and Dispatch Center in Alamogordo, New Mexico. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the available documents, vendors must submit complete pricing for the full quantity of two units, as partial quantity bids will be rejected. The generators have maximum dimension requirements of 92.52 in x 29.53 in x 43.31 in and will be used to provide electrical power for refrigerated container units. The Forest Service intends to make a single contract award for the complete quantity rather than splitting the procurement among multiple vendors.
