About this file
This is a Question and Answer (Q&A) amendment clarifying technical requirements and logistics for a Request for Quote (RFQ) solicitation for the rental of one Combi-CBE 6000 forklift. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) in Portsmouth, VA issued solicitation N42158-26-NNSY-900-0028 on July 21, 2026, with an original closing date that was extended to August 14, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. The base period of performance is September 18, 2026 through September 17, 2027, with three optional 12-month renewal periods. The forklift must have a minimum 6,000-pound capacity, 48V battery compatibility with an Ecotec Access high-frequency charger (already available at NNSY), and a minimum 10% grade-ability rating. Prospective bidders must provide firm-fixed pricing for the base year and all three option years on a pricing schedule with four CLINs (0001 for base year, 1001-3001 for options), with payment terms of Net 30 Days.
Key operational requirements include estimated usage of approximately 73 hours per month (875 hours annually) for material movement between warehouse shelving by Nuclear Refuelers. The contractor must deliver the forklift by September 18, 2026 via ground delivery using a tilt bed truck with ramps for unloading. If the forklift becomes inoperable, the contractor must provide a replacement or repair within 1-2 weeks to maintain operational continuity. The NAICS code is 532490 (All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing) with a size standard of $40,000,000, and the PSC code is W039 (Lease or Rental of Equipment-Materials Handling Equipment). This is a full and open competition solicitation with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) as the sponsoring federal agency.
