Custom Outdoor-Rated Equipment Enclosures

The U.S. Forest Service is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of designing, fabricating, and delivering 45 custom outdoor‑rated steel enclosures for six‑character digital display units. The enclosures must meet specific functional and performance criteria (NEMA Type 4/12 rating, 14‑gauge steel, sealed construction, removable sun‑shade cover, and rear mounting feet). The RFI seeks capability statements, technical feedback, non‑binding cost estimates, and production lead‑time projections. • 45 custom steel enclosures, approx. 14” H × 36” L × 12” D, to house 11” H × 33” L × 4” D display units. • Requirements include NEMA Type 4/12 weather resistance, 14‑gauge steel construction, sealed design, and removable sun‑shade cover. • Vendors must submit capability statements, ROM pricing for 45 units, lead‑time estimates, and any design recommendations.
