CAMSS30 is widely depended on to support troops around the world. Over 2,500 shelters have been deployed from the extreme heat of the Middle East to the freezing temperatures of Alaska. The CAMSS30’s superior engineering has proven to hold up in extensive U.S. government lab tests and repeatedly in the field under extreme environments.
“(CAMSS30) design reduced the C-130 airlift burden by 66%; reduced set up time to 3-4 hrs from 15 hrs normally required for previous shelter systems and met our temperature requirements in accordance with the performance specifications.”
The California Medium Shelter System (CAMSS30) is the Official Medium Shelter System of the United States Air Force and is an integral part of all BEAR Base Shelter Packages.

Contract Effort Description:
This contract was a small business set-a-side, written IAW Commercial Buy (FAR Part 23) procedures. CAMSS was required to provide a product sample as part of the proposals submitted in response to RFP. Product samples were subjected to critical demonstrating testing. The CAMSS-provided shelter met or exceeded all requirements of the initial testing. A complete proposal evaluation was conducted during a ‘best value’ source selection. CAMSS was awarded a 10 year contract. Upon contract award, the shelter was subjected to severe laboratory and climatic testing. In addition, a complete, detailed, controlled, operational test and evaluation was conducted by AFOTEC. Upon successful completion of these tests and evaluations, a production option was exercises.
