Henry County RFP seeks custom fire engine for Bassett department

Henry County is accepting proposals under RFP 26-10083-A304 for the design and construction of a custom fire engine for the Bassett Volunteer Fire Department, according to the county's procurement page.

The posting lists the solicitation as open and sets the closing deadline for 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026. The county identifies the category as RFPs/RFQs and shows the notice was published Aug. 5.

The summary describes the scope as "Design and Build of a Custom Fire Engine for Firefighting Operations at Bassett Volunteer Fire Department." It does not state an award amount, final equipment specifications or delivery schedule on the summary page, so those details should not be inferred from the notice.

Vendors considering the opportunity should review the county's linked "RFP A304 Entire Proposal" document and follow the submission instructions in that packet. For residents, the posting is a public procurement step involving equipment for a local volunteer department; it is not an announcement that a new engine has been awarded or delivered.
