Description

THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION

Ellsworth AFB is conducting market research on the availability of towable generators. The Government is looking to set up an emergency list of vendors who can provide these units on a rapid timeline, and with little to no notice, for use at Ellsworth AFB.

At this time, the Government does not have well-defined minimum characteristics for the type of generator we will need. However, for the purpose of this sources sought, please provide details for the following salient characteristics.

About 60 kW Diesel Towable with a 3/4-ton or 1-ton truck 12 hour run-time

To be clear, the above minimum characteristics are loosely defined. As such, if you have a capability similar to this, but doesn't meet these exact specifications, we would like to see it.

The Government is looking to establish this emergency vendor list in the next few days. As such, please provide your information by Friday, 9 Oct 2026, at 1 PM MDT.
