View moreThe United States Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for one new 2025 or 2026 Forest River R-Pod RP-203 compact travel trailer, or a brand-name equivalent. This requirement supports the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center in Jamestown, North Dakota. The sought-after trailer must include specific salient characteristics such as a 30-gallon fresh water system, black and gray water holding tanks, dual axles with electric brakes, and a power-operated awning. Interior requirements include a central vacuum system, a Murphy queen bed, rear double bunks with privacy curtains, a kitchen with a microwave/air fryer and oven, and a plumbing system equipped for winterization.
This sources sought notice, identified by solicitation number 140G0226Q0061, is classified under NAICS code 336214 for Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturing and PSC 2330 for Trailers. The USGS is specifically seeking information on domestic sources in accordance with the Buy American Act. If a vendor is located more than 500 miles from the delivery site in Jamestown, North Dakota, shipping must be included; otherwise, the government will facilitate pickup. Market research results will determine the procurement method, including whether the acquisition will be set-aside for small businesses or conducted through full and open competition.

Submissions must include product specifications and brochures for the proposed brand-name or equivalent trailer, country of origin details, and the respondent’s business size and socioeconomic status. The notice includes two attachments: a floorplan PDF and the formal sources sought notice document. There is currently no formal solicitation, and the government will use provided information to assess market capacity without compensating respondents for their submissions.
