Material Handling and Support Equipment BPA

The Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs has awarded a sole-source Blanket Purchase Agreement to United Rentals (CAGE QJXS6) for rental of aerial work platforms, light towers, and mobile generators supporting Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic, with an estimated total value of $200,000 and an award date of July 31, 2026.

The justification rests on unique and fixed structural configurations at SWFLANT that require specialized high-reach aerial lifts—specifically a Genie 135 R/T Diesel or equivalent—with a minimum vertical working height of 141 feet and a minimum horizontal working reach of 90 feet to meet recurring Nuclear Weapons Security maintenance requirements. Market research confirmed that United Rentals is the only identified source capable of providing equipment meeting these technical specifications; competing vendors Sunbelt Rentals and Herc Rentals either lack equipment with the required 90-foot horizontal reach or are unavailable to pursue Navy business. No small businesses were found capable of meeting the technical requirements.

The BPA covers a two-year period and includes rental of high-reach aerial lifts, vertical mast lifts, light towers, and generators. Place of performance is Kings Bay, Georgia. The equipment rental falls under NAICS 532310 (General Rental Centers) and PSC W039 (Lease or Rental of Equipment—Materials Handling Equipment).
