This procurement seeks 20 units of the specified ladder equipment to be delivered to the DLA Distribution Depot in Oklahoma. The solicitation is open to all responsible sources, and quotes must be submitted electronically by the deadline of January 20, 2026. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, the approved source listed is vendor 30356 1021, suggesting prior procurement history for this item. The delivery timeline requires completion within 209 days from the award date, providing contractors with approximately seven months to fulfill the order.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. The procurement specifies an approved source (30356 1021), which may indicate an incumbent supplier relationship, though all responsible small businesses may submit quotes for consideration. The contract involves a relatively modest quantity of 20 units, suggesting a lower-value procurement typical of supply requisitions through the Defense Logistics Agency. Performance will be measured by timely delivery to the DLA Distribution Depot in Oklahoma City, with the 209-day delivery window providing adequate time for manufacturing and logistics. Hard copies of the solicitation are unavailable, and specifications or drawings are not provided in this notice, requiring interested contractors to access the RFQ through the electronic link referenced in the posting.
