How to bid on CULT Commercial Trailers for the Department of the Army
What the Army is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Army is planning to buy 14 European-specification commercial trailers for use in Europe. These trailers are for Common User Land Transportation (CULT) in support of the 6966th Transportation Truck Terminal (TTT).
The procurement includes four flatbed trailers, four rollerized box trailers, four curtainsider trailers, one Type 2 lowbed trailer, and one Type 3 lowbed trailer. All trailers must have factory-standard ADR EX II/EX III compliance, meaning they are certified for transporting hazardous materials and munitions. This is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract opportunity for vendors who can supply specialized equipment.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice, published on July 16, 2026. The deadline for interested vendors to submit their information is August 26, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET.
At the deadline, the Army will have collected statements from interested companies. This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not guarantee a future solicitation or contract. The government will use the information to identify potential vendors and answer questions, but there is no commitment to award a contract based on this notice.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for businesses that can supply European-specification commercial trailers, particularly those certified for hazardous materials transport (ADR EX II/EX III compliance). Firms specializing in heavy equipment, logistics, or transportation vehicle manufacturing and sales would be a good fit.
The Army is looking for vendors who can provide various trailer types, including flatbed, box, curtainsider, and lowbed. Companies with experience in international sales or supplying to military operations in Europe may find this particularly relevant.
