viable options to address the governments specific equipment requirements. Detailed specifications for
the custom gooseneck trailers with custom cabinets and replacement truck beds can be provided upon

this market research document.
The responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a screening

This market survey is also being conducted to obtain the information necessary to determine whether
