Used olympic shower trailers

Luna County, New Mexico is proceeding with a sole-source procurement for two used Olympic fiberglass shower trailers, with proposals due July 10, 2026. The procurement is restricted to Busy Bee LLC in Deming, New Mexico, the identified sole-source vendor.

The scope comprises one 30-foot by 8-foot propane-powered trailer and one electric-powered trailer, each accommodating 19 persons showering simultaneously. The trailers will serve temporary capacity needs at the county detention facility during plumbing emergencies or renovations, and may support emergency response to weather-related events affecting stranded travelers. Luna County conducted market research and determined that alternative shower trailer options were unavailable locally, required lead times of several months, or exceeded budget constraints. The county previously deployed similar trailers in 2019 during an asylum event in Deming.

The sole-source justification form, posted June 10, 2026, establishes that Busy Bee LLC has trailers available at pricing the county deems reasonable and acceptable. A vendor quote accompanies the procurement form. Luna County Budget and Procurement Director Joanne C. Hethcox (575-545-3342 or jhethcox@lunacounty.gov) administers the procurement. Protests of the sole-source award must be submitted in writing within fifteen calendar days of posting, by July 20, 2026. Completion of the sole-source justification form does not guarantee approval.
