NOTICE: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with RFO FAR Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

Solicitation number W911QX26QA160 is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ) for One (1) Broderson Ten (10) U.S. Ton Diesel-Powered Industrial Carry Deck Crane (Model IC-100-B).

This acquisition is set-aside for small business concerns. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference. The full text of provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov.

The 100% small business set-aside will convert to full and open competition if no acceptable offers are received from responsible, small business concerns. For offers to be considered acceptable, they must meet all technical requirements contained in the solicitation and be competitive in terms of market prices, quality, and delivery. If only one acceptable offer is received from a responsible, small business concern, the contracting officer will consider awarding directly to that firm, prior to the dissolution of the small business set-aside. No amendment will be issued to convert the solicitation to full and open competition. If the small business set-aside is dissolved, the government will award to the large business whose offer is most advantageous to the government, based on the requirements and evaluation criteria set forth in this solicitation. All interested parties are encouraged to respond, regardless of business size; however, they must do so at their own risk, taking into account that this is a small business set-aside first, and full and open competition only after the above criteria is not met.

The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2026-01, effective 13 March 2026.

For purposes of this acquisition, the associated NAICS code is 333120. The small business size standard is 1250 employees.
