TRAM Powered Car Design & Manufacturing

The contract involves the full design, engineering, and manufacturing of three open-air TRAM powered cars that must mechanically and operationally integrate seamlessly with existing Chance Rides trailer cars without the use of any adapters or modifications. This requires precise alignment of coupling systems, power transmission, braking, and control interfaces to ensure safe, reliable, and unified performance across the entire train configuration. The project demands not only technical precision in fabrication but also strict adherence to compatibility standards already established by the existing fleet, making customization within constraints a critical success factor. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under NAICS code 336340, awarded by the Department of the Interior through Ner Services Mabo, with performance centered in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. The opportunity is open exclusively to small businesses and has a response deadline of July 29, 2026, with the solicitation posted in June 2026. While the specific funding or value is not detailed, the scope implies a high level of engineering expertise and manufacturing capability, with the end product intended for deployment in a regulated operational environment requiring rigorous quality control and interoperability.
