Pre-Solicitation Notice / CULT Commercial Trailers

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office, is conducting market research via a Pre-Solicitation Notice for the procurement of fourteen European-specification commercial trailers to support the 6966th Transportation Truck Terminal in Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate. The trailers include four flatbeds, four rollerized box trailers, four curtainsider trailers, one Type 2 lowbed trailer, and one Type 3 lowbed recovery trailer, all of which must be newly manufactured with factory-standard ADR EX II/EX III certification for hazardous materials and munitions transport. Each trailer must comply with EU-Type approval standards, include a Certificate of Conformity, meet German TÜV MOT requirements, and have telematics systems configured to block unauthorized data transmission. All trailers must be equipped with proper ADR sign holders on the left, right, and rear sides. The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract following this market research phase and anticipates a six-month delivery lead time from contract award. Responses must be submitted via email to Maryanne E. Peck and Brandon Donalson by August 26, 2026, and must include company name, address, CAGE code, UEI, NAICS code classification for size determination, and point of contact details. This notice is strictly for industry feedback and planning and does not constitute a solicitation, offer, or commitment to award a contract; no reimbursement is provided for response-related costs. Offers for U.S.-made or designated country end products will be evaluated without regard to Buy American restrictions under WTO GPA provisions. No proprietary, classified, or sensitive information should be included in submissions, and the Government reserves the right to use non-proprietary technical information in future solicitations.
