30 Ton Heavy Duty Wrecker

DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.AMC.ACC.ACC-OO.411TH CSB.0411 AQ HQ CONTRACT AUG · Response deadline: Tue, 10 Nov 2026

What the government is buying

The U.S. Army is soliciting bids for a 30 Ton Heavy Duty Wrecker through a combined synopsis and solicitation. This is a direct procurement for heavy-duty vehicular recovery equipment—wreckers in this weight class are specialized tow trucks designed to recover and transport disabled military vehicles, including tactical trucks and armored vehicles that standard wreckers cannot handle.

NAICS code 333924 classifies this as Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing. Heavy-duty wreckers in the 30-ton capacity range typically feature rotating cranes, winch systems, and under-lift equipment capable of recovering fully loaded military logistics vehicles without additional assist equipment.

Key facts

Who can bid

This solicitation is open to all qualified businesses with no set-aside designation indicated. Large and small businesses alike may compete. Manufacturers within NAICS 333924 and businesses capable of supplying commercial or militarized heavy wreckers should evaluate their eligibility.

Firms should verify their size standard for NAICS 333924 through the Small Business Administration. Given the specialized nature of 30-ton military recovery equipment, bidders typically include:

• Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of heavy-duty wreckers
• Defense contractors with experience militarizing commercial chassis
• Firms offering substantial components manufactured in the U.S. or designated countries (per Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement requirements)

Certain Army ground vehicle procurements may require compliance with specific military standards (MIL-STD) for transportability, electromagnetic interference, or nuclear/biological/chemical survivability—see the solicitation for applicable requirements.

How to put together a competitive bid

For heavy-duty wrecker competitions, focus on these elements:

Technical compliance: The 30-ton rating likely refers to boom capacity, under-lift capacity, or both. Clarify whether the requirement specifies a chassis-cab with integrated wrecker body or wrecker body alone. Military applications often require auxiliary equipment compatibility—see the solicitation for detailed performance specifications.

Performance history: Document prior deliveries of comparable wreckers to military or commercial heavy-haul operators. Reference contracts with verifiable past performance ratings in SAM or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System.

Pricing structure: Combined synopsis/solicitations often use simplified acquisition procedures. Prepare line-item pricing for base equipment, options (spare parts, manuals, training), and shipping to the government's required destination.

Industrial base considerations: Assess Buy American Act applicability, potential Berry Amendment requirements for specialty steels/textiles, and any trade agreement exceptions.

Past performance evidence: Obtain and attach past performance questionnaires from prior customers, particularly for 20-ton or greater recovery equipment.
