Tiny Home

DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.AMC.ACC.MISSION INSTALLATION CONTRACTING COMMAND.419TH CSB.W6QM MICC-FT DRUM · Response deadline: Thu, 12 Nov 2026

What the government is buying

The Army is seeking to acquire manufactured (mobile) homes, as indicated by the NAICS code 321991 and classification code 5450. Manufactured housing refers to factory-built residential units constructed on permanent chassis, commonly known as tiny homes, single-wide, or double-wide mobile homes. These units are typically used for temporary or semi-permanent housing needs at military installations.

For this requirement, the government has structured the acquisition as a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, meaning the notice serves as both the announcement of the opportunity and the active solicitation. This streamlined approach allows interested vendors to submit offers without waiting for a separate formal solicitation release.

The 419th Contracting Support Brigade (W6QM MICC-FT DRUM) at Fort Drum is handling this procurement on behalf of the Mission and Installation Contracting Command. See the solicitation for specific unit specifications, quantities, and delivery requirements.

Key facts

Who can bid

This opportunity is exclusively reserved for small business concerns under NAICS 321991. To qualify, your business must:

• Meet the size standard for NAICS 321991. Firms in this industry typically qualify based on average annual receipts over a three-year period; verify the current threshold in the solicitation or at SBA.gov.
• Be registered in SAM.gov with active status.
• Have the NAICS 321991 listed in your SAM entity registration to receive automatic notifications and be eligible for award.
• Manufacture the end product or meet the nonmanufacturer rule exceptions if applicable.

This is a total small business set-aside, meaning no large businesses or other socioeconomic categories (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) receive preference. Competition is open to all verified small businesses regardless of additional socioeconomic status.

How to put together a competitive bid

Manufactured housing procurements typically emphasize unit specifications, delivery timelines, and total installed cost. To compete effectively:

Confirm your production capacity. Fort Drum is in northern New York, which experiences severe winters. Verify whether the government requires on-site delivery and installation or only FOB origin. Seasonal delivery constraints may factor into your pricing and scheduling.

Review HUD Code compliance. Manufactured homes sold for residential use must meet federal HUD construction and safety standards. Military housing may have additional requirements. See the solicitation for specific codes applicable.

Examine foundation and utility tie-in requirements. Some military applications require skirting, steps, anchoring systems, or utility connections beyond the base unit. Do not assume scope; see the solicitation for line-item breakdowns.

Price strategically for small business competition. With no socioeconomic layering, price and past performance often determine award. Secure favorable material pricing from suppliers and optimize transportation logistics to Fort Drum or the designated installation.

Verify bonding and insurance. Construction-related deliveries to federal installations may require specific liability coverage or performance guarantees.

Submit through SAM.gov if this is an electronic procurement, or follow the solicitation's specific submission instructions for hardcopy or other formats.
