Quick Summary
The United States Property and Fiscal Office for Pennsylvania (USPFO PA ARNG) intends to award a non-competitive, firm-fixed price purchase order to SAM Logistics and Supplies Inc. for the rental of four (4) 53-foot Refrigerated Hybrid Trailers. This action, designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, is a sole source justification to ensure continuity of operations at Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, PA.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the rental of four (4) 53-foot Refrigerated Hybrid Trailers. These trailers must be capable of being powered by 480V from the power grid, with a backup diesel-powered on-board generator. They must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, and include standard industry terms and 24/7 emergency repair services. The trailers are currently on-site and are critical for storing fresh and frozen food products used to support feeding operations for Soldiers training in Pennsylvania.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Non-competitive, Firm-Fixed Price Purchase Order (Sole Source)
- Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)
- Anticipated Vendor: SAM Logistics and Supplies Inc.
- Duration: Anticipated 3-month rental period (May 1, 2026 - July 31, 2026), with an option to extend up to six (6) months.
- Anticipated Award Date: April 13, 2026
- Published: March 24, 2026
Justification for Sole Source
This non-competitive action is justified because SAM Logistics and Supplies Inc. currently has an expiring contract for these trailers, which are already on-site at Fort Indiantown Gap. The trailers are essential for supporting feeding operations during a warehouse construction project and subsequent transition. Soliciting another source would lead to increased costs, risk spoilage of food products, and negatively impact Soldier feeding and training operations.
