AI Contract Overview
The contract solicits five complete Towable Expeditionary Shelter Systems – Small (TESS-S), designed as self-contained, rapidly deployable, hard-sided mobile workstations for command and control and administrative operations in austere environments. Each system must be fully integrated onto a standard HMMWV towable trailer chassis and engineered for high mobility across off-road terrain, while being containerized to protect internal components during transport. The units must be transportable via road, rail, sea, and air, including compatibility with 463L pallets and helicopter sling-load operations. Upon deployment, the expandable shelter must provide at least 86 square feet of climate-controlled, insulated interior workspace, be mission-ready in under six minutes by two personnel without special tools, and feature integrated multi-layer fabric covers offering complete blackout capability for light discipline. The system requires an integrated multi-fuel generator delivering both AC and 24VDC power, a robust HVAC system capable of maintaining operational temperatures across global climates, and internal LED lighting with standard white and tactical green modes. Construction must utilize durable, lightweight materials such as aluminum and composites, with all exterior waterproof fabrics being Berry Compliant and meeting MIL-PRF-44103D standards, and the entire system must be designed and tested to exceed MIL-STD-810G/H environmental and mechanical specifications. Delivery is required FOB Destination to Camp Blanding Joint Training Center in Starke, Florida, no later than July 31, 2026, with the contractor responsible for all shipping and handling costs. Partial shipments may be approved upon coordination with the contracting officer. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the delivery site by government personnel, contingent upon full compliance with all technical requirements and successful functional testing. The contractor must also deliver complete technical manuals for operation and field-level maintenance. This is a sources-sought notice under solicitation W911YN-26-Q-A012, NAICS code 336212, with no set-aside, and vendors must respond with a capabilities statement by July 13, 2026.
