NCR-nama purchase standard forklift

The National Park Service is procuring one standard 7,000-pound rough terrain forklift through Request for Quotation 140P2125Q0204. The forklift will be used by the National Mall and Memorial Parks at the East Potomac Maintenance Yard in Washington, DC, and must meet specific technical requirements including pneumatic tires, minimum 12-foot lift height, and various safety features for operation on challenging surfaces including loose sand, grass, and mud. The solicitation will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, considering factors such as compliance with specifications, delivery timeline, warranty and support, cost competitiveness, and local availability of maintenance and parts. Quotes must be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Heather Madsen by September 10, 2025 at 12:00 PM Eastern time, with an amendment extending the original September 5 deadline. The government intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order with delivery required by February 28, 2026.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), despite the initial solicitation notice indicating no set-aside was used. The contract value is listed as up to $22 million, though this appears to represent the overall contract vehicle ceiling rather than the value for this single forklift purchase. The solicitation specifies the procurement of one unit with a 7,000-pound lifting capacity, corrected from the original range of 3,000 to 7,000 pounds in the initial solicitation. Performance will occur at the East Potomac Maintenance Yard in Washington, DC, where the forklift will handle various materials and operate on both improved and unimproved terrain surfaces. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation documents.
