Guzzler Water Tank Fabrication

The contract entails the fabrication of 22 flat, durable polyethylene water storage tanks with capacities ranging from 500 to 750 gallons, specifically engineered for deployment at remote desert wildlife hydration sites. These tanks must be designed to endure extreme environmental conditions including intense heat, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations typical of arid regions, while also being structurally robust enough to survive helicopter transport to inaccessible locations without damage or deformation. The manufacturing process must ensure leakproof construction, UV stabilization, and resistance to cracking or brittleness over long-term outdoor use, with quality controls aligned to rigorous performance standards for wildlife infrastructure. Subcontracted under the Department of the Interior through It Services Fws, this effort is governed by NAICS code 326199 for other plastic product manufacturing and requires submission of proposals by August 3, 2026. The project supports conservation objectives by enabling reliable water access for desert-dwelling species, with all tanks expected to be field-ready upon delivery, fully assembled, and pre-tested for structural integrity. While no specific set-aside designation is indicated, contractors must demonstrate proven experience in producing similar heavy-duty polyethylene containers suitable for remote, high-stress deployment environments.
