Purchase of Travel trailers

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) plans to issue a solicitation specifically targeting the purchase of new travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers that are immediately available for acquisition. This procurement is set aside exclusively for small businesses located in North Carolina, aiming to support local firms within the state. The solicitation will result in multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for the supply and delivery of these recreation vehicles to designated FEMA locations. All units must be brand-new, unused, and must not have been lent or rented prior to sale. The trailers must comply with several stringent manufacturing and safety standards, including the NFPA 1192 Standard on Recreational Vehicles, ANSI/RVIA Low Voltage Systems standards, process controls for trailer wheel assembly, and all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) along with National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulations. The solicitation, posted in October 2018 under the NAICS code 321991, falls under the Department of Homeland Security’s Region 4 Emergency Preparedness office based in Atlanta, Georgia. Interested parties may contact the contracting officer, John L. Clemons, for further information and details.
