General Information: The 412 LRS/LGRV at the Air Force Test Center at Edwards AFB, CA is in the process of determining the acquisition strategy to obtain information from potential eligible and interested contractors for the purchase of Water Tanker/Pump Repair to include:

The 412 Logistics Readiness Squadron, Vehicle Management Flight needs contracted vendor services to replace the agent water tank assembly and associated components on Fire Department Water Tender with registration number 11L00144, which was delivered to Vehicle Management with multiple leaks on top of the tank and a noticeable sag in the center when fully loaded, causing the tank to rub the body damaging the exterior integrity of the tank. Upon inspection, it was found that the damage was a result of the structural integrity of the agent tank that had diminished over the years. It is beyond the capabilities of the vehicle management flight technicians to repair. See SOW for further information. Also included are photos of the vehicle for reference.
