The RFI seeks inputs on both a second-generation configuration and a proposed smaller, tactical third-generation vehicle. Key operational requirements include a 4X4 diesel-powered chassis, extended fuel capacity, and specialized communication office space capabilities, designed for challenging deployment environments. Vendors are requested to provide capabilities statements detailing their solutions and relevant experience, including examples of similar vehicles. The RFI emphasizes that responses will aid in planning future acquisitions, rather than representing a formal solicitation. Responses are due by November 29, 2024, with specific guidelines for submission outlined. This initiative underlines FEMA's commitment to improving communication support in disaster-affected regions, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and operational efficiency in emergency management.
