This pre-solicitation notice seeks to identify potential suppliers capable of providing hand lift trucks with the same form, fit, and function as existing approved products. Key requirements include submission of information regarding product availability, commercial item status, pricing, delivery timeframes, inventory capabilities, acceptable FOB terms, company structure, and willingness to accept option years with Economic Price Adjustment clauses using Producer Price Index adjustments. The government is particularly interested in identifying alternate products that are functionally compatible with existing weapons system components and will evaluate suppliers' ability to demonstrate commercial sales history and evidence of commercial modifications. Interested parties must submit responses by email to Matthew Forsythe (matthew.forsythe@dla.mil) by April 9, 2026, and responses must include supporting documentation such as proof of commercial sales, technical drawings, warranties, and price lists.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is not restricted to any particular business category. The current approved supplier is Deval Corporation (CAGE Code 11201), which manufactures the Part Number 5167104. The estimated procurement volume is 60 units annually, with the anticipated contract structure consisting of a 3-year base period followed by two optional 1-year periods. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. It should be noted that this sources sought announcement is informational only and does not constitute a formal request for proposal; therefore, no funds are available to compensate respondents for their efforts in preparing responses, and the government makes no commitment to award a contract based on submissions received.
