About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command has issued a sole source acquisition justification for repair parts for two IT28G Caterpillar forklifts located at Baledogle Military Airfield in Somalia. The contract (N68171-25-P-4007) was awarded to MANTRAC DJIBOUTI SARL due to unusual and compelling urgency provisions stemming from critical equipment failure. One forklift is currently non-mission capable, and the other is expected to become non-mission capable imminently, which severely impacts the base's ability to receive essential resupply deliveries and increases aircraft vulnerability in a hostile environment. The justification emphasizes that only Caterpillar forklifts are authorized to perform material handling equipment functions at the location, with local purchase options extremely limited. The required delivery date is set for Not Later Than 10 June 2025, with the acquisition falling under the NAICS category of Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (NAICS 811310). While the specific award amount is not disclosed, the urgent nature of the procurement underscores the critical operational requirements at the military airfield.
