This contract calls for the supply of 80 aluminum railcar spanners designed to support the Army Power Projection Platform at the Campbell Rail Operations Facility in Fort Campbell, KY. These rail spanners must be capable of spanning between railcars to facilitate the loading of self-propelled vehicles, towed trailers, and other rolling stock, and must be compatible with both military and commercial railcars. Each spanner is specified to support a maximum axle weight of 20,000 lbs individually, with pairs rated for 40,000 lbs per axle, ensuring a 2-to-1 safety factor with no permanent deformation occurring under a total of 80,000 lbs. The spanners should measure 72 inches in length, 24 inches in width, and weigh no more than 80 lbs each to enable handling by two people. The construction requirements specify use of aluminum with a thickness not exceeding 4 inches and include design features like a 2-inch-high stub toe and an improved kicker plate made of aluminum tubes and tapered gussets for enhanced durability compared to angled aluminum designs. Each rail spanner will have a specification plate detailing manufacturer, vendor contact information, rated capacity, and safety instructions including support recommendations. The fabricator must be certified by the American Welding Society. The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 331315, with responses due by June 12, 2026, and points of contact provided for communication with the Department of Defense office at Fort Drum, NY.
