This solicitation is to gather quotes for inclusion in grant applications for multiple rural Oklahoma fire departments. The grant provides financial assistance exclusively for slip-on tanker units and their installation (not for vehicles, chassis, or additional equipment like forestry hose/reel systems). It is the vendor's responsibility to fully understand the federal specifications for the slip-on units.

Bids are requested for two categories of units:

1. Cab and Chassis Units (for standard vehicles, excluding UTVs).
2. UTV Units (specifically for Utility Task Vehicles).

Vendors must provide detailed price quotes for units that fully comply with the DOI/OWF minimum specifications (available to download). Price Quotes should include detailed pricing for custom build and installation.

Important! If the required attachments are not included with your competitive bid, your application will be considered incomplete and will not be considered. Please take the time to review your application, renderings, and price quotes to ensure they are accurate and complete.
