About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command's 2d Contracting Squadron is seeking to procure one brand name Deka forklift battery through this combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items. The battery is specifically required as a replacement for a Hyster Model J50XN-28 forklift operated by the 2d Logistics Readiness Squadron/Vehicle Management Flight at Barksdale Air Force Base. The procurement is being conducted under a single source justification due to technical compatibility requirements, including the forklift's existing configuration with Deka's unique connector types, locations, polarity, and battery compartment dimensions designed specifically for Deka batteries. The detailed technical specifications call for an 80-volt lead acid battery with 40 cells, dimensions of 25" x 35.25" x 28", weighing 3,763 pounds, with a 6-hour amp hour capacity of 500. Quotes must be submitted by Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 12:00 PM CDT, with the contracting officer determining that only a single source is reasonably available for this procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
This opportunity is designated as a total set-aside for small businesses under NAICS code 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing) with a size standard of 600 employees. No incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation materials. The procurement involves the purchase of exactly one forklift battery unit, representing a one-time replacement that will not require future acquisitions of this specific battery brand according to the justification documentation. Performance will take place at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, where the Hyster forklift requiring the battery replacement is currently located and operated by the base's vehicle management operations.
