NVANG R-11 ENGINE REBUILD

The Department of the Army, specifically the W7NM USPFO Activity NVANG 152, awarded a fixed-price sole source purchase order to McCandless Truck Center, Inc. on May 20, 2026. This award covers the rebuild of a failed engine for an R-11 Refueler vehicle operated by the Nevada Air National Guard. The project is classified under NAICS 811111 for General Automotive Repair and PSC J023 for Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment- Ground Effect Vehicles, Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Cycles. No set-aside was utilized for this procurement, identified by solicitation number W50S8C26PA010.

The required services address a critical equipment failure that rendered one of three vehicles in the refueler fleet non-mission capable, reducing operational capacity by 33%. McCandless Truck Center, Inc. was selected as the sole source because it is the only certified maintenance company capable of performing this specialized work locally. The engine rebuild is necessary to restore the unit’s mission readiness and ensure repeatable, expedited repairs for the R-11 Refueler.

Performance takes place in Nevada, and the notice was published on May 21, 2026. Administrative documentation for this action includes one attachment, a justification titled McCandless R11 Engine Rebuild JA.pdf. Keith Trimble serves as the point of contact for this award notice.
