The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) # 2026-1100-0122 for a Umiat Sleeper Unit Purchase, targeting a specific prefabricated module for their field camp in Umiat, Alaska. The procurement seeks a 10'x37' sleeper module with four bedrooms, designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions ranging from -50°F to 80°F. The unit must be fully furnished, include comprehensive electrical and heating systems, and be capable of being towed across tundra with a floor elevated at least two feet off the ground. Bids are due by 2:00 pm Alaska Standard Time on October 29, 2025, with an anticipated contract award on October 30, 2025. The contract term is projected from November 2025 through February 28, 2026, with potential month-to-month extensions, and the unit must be completed and transported during the winter of 2025/2026 when rivers are frozen. The procurement is structured as a fixed-price contract with no minimum or maximum purchase guarantees, and bidders must comply with specific construction and performance requirements.

The solicitation offers several preference opportunities for bidders, including a 5% Alaska Bidder Preference, a 5% Alaska Veteran Preference, and a 2% Alaska Military Skills Program Preference. The state will not be responsible for taxes, and payment will be made within 30 days of proper billing or goods delivery. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of manufacturing and delivering a specialized modular sleeper unit suitable for extreme Arctic conditions. The unit will be shipped to Fairbanks, AK, and must meet rigorous specifications for environmental resilience and functional performance. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the complexity of the unit's requirements suggests a potentially significant investment reflecting the specialized nature of the equipment and the challenging delivery environment.
