Description

As published on SAM.gov.

***THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION***

Ellsworth AFB is conducting market research on the availability of towable restroom trailers, shower trailers, and combined restroom /shower trailers. 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.

The Government does not have well-defined minimum characteristics. However, generally speaking, the Government is interested in towable units that can provide restroom facilities, shower facilities, or both, and are available for lease rather than purchase

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 does not have an urgent need for these products, but does need this research completed quickly. As such, please provide any response by 3:00 PM MDT today (6 Oct 2026).

If you wish to be included on this emergency list, please email 1st Lt Matthew Shofner at matthew.shofner.1@us.af.mil.
