About this opportunity
The U.S. Air Force 509 Contracting Squadron at Whiteman AFB Missouri is seeking a contractor to repair a 2005 Caterpillar forklift engine (Model IT28G) through this Sources Sought notice. The contractor must provide comprehensive engine repair services including transportation of the forklift to their facility, removal and reconditioning of the engine, and subsequent reinstallation and return of the asset to the government. Key requirements include the ability to work on CAT forklift engines, transportation capabilities, and registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Interested vendors must submit capabilities statements, cost estimates, and responses to specific qualification questions to three government email addresses no later than 11 AM CDT on August 26, 2025. The submission must include company information, CAGE Code or UEI number, and address questions about SAM registration, CAT forklift expertise, and transportation capabilities.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance. The work involves three specific Contract Line Item Numbers covering transportation, removal/installation of engine parts and labor, and reconditioning of engine parts and labor for the forklift with engine serial number CPT15050. The original completion deadline specified in the Statement of Work was August 7, 2025, though this appears to be outdated given the current solicitation timeline. No incumbent contractor or specific budget range is mentioned in the notice, and quantities are limited to one forklift requiring engine repair services. The government will conduct final inspection and acceptance of the repaired vehicle before taking ownership upon completion of all work.
