About this opportunity
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, operating under the Department of Energy, is conducting market research to identify sources capable of delivering a high-capacity diesel forklift for their Transportation and Receiving departments. The procurement requires a diesel forklift with specific mandatory capabilities including a lifting capacity of 17,500-22,000 pounds, diesel engine capable of 16% uphill grade travel, enclosed cab with lighting and safety features, side shifting capability, power fork positioning, and 6-foot forks. The forklift must be delivered by mid-September 2025, with delivery before the end of LBNL's fiscal year on September 30, 2025 being non-negotiable due to budgetary constraints. Respondents must provide information about the forklift manufacturer, country of origin, current location within US territory, and small business status. The deadline for responses is 3:00 PM Pacific Time on August 18, 2025, with submissions required via email to the LBNL Procurement Representative.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS Code 333924 with a small business size standard of 900 or fewer employees. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documents. The RFI does not specify award values or budget ranges, focusing instead on market research to identify qualified sources. This is explicitly stated as a Request for Information only and not a formal solicitation, with no guarantee of a future contract opportunity. The procurement timeline is compressed, requiring delivery within approximately six weeks of the response deadline to meet the fiscal year-end requirement.
