About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded a sole-source contract to JCB Manufacturing Inc. (CAGE, Pooler, Georgia) for 217 wheel assemblies with pneumatic tires (NSN 2530-01-718-2856, part number 402/N1738) for the Light Capability Rough Terrain Forklift II 5K, with an option for an additional 217 units. The contract award date is June 17, 2026.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under FAR 6.302-1, establishing JCB as the only responsible source capable of manufacturing the specialized integrated wheel assembly. Market research conducted December 16, 2025, across major tire manufacturers (Michelin, Bridgestone, Firestone, Continental, Goodyear, Specialty Tires of America, Titan, Yokohama, and Alliance) confirmed that while alternative tires exist, no other vendor manufactures the complete integrated assembly. A Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on January 7, 2026, received no responses. JCB owns all intellectual property and technical data for the component; reverse engineering would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. The wheel assembly uses a 340/80R20 tire and must meet specific technical requirements including corrosive resistance, 5,000–6,000 pound lifting capacity, operability from −25°F to 120°F, and dimensional constraints. The contract is firm-fixed-price and funded through Army Working Capital Funds. Sole-source justification was approved February 3, 2026, by the Competition Advocate. The estimated contract value falls between $900,000 and $20 million.
