About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command has awarded contract N0040626P0146 on a sole-source basis to East Penn Manufacturing for one forklift battery on May 22, 2026.
The justification invokes FAR 12.102(a), Commercial Only One Source/Brand Name Justification. The battery—model IST6H51 18-G75-27 EE—is classified as a Critical Safety Item under COMSCINST 4490.1C and is installed onboard Military Sealift Command vessels as an internal component of forklift trucks. East Penn Manufacturing is the original equipment manufacturer. The Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Centers determined that procurement from the OEM ensures compliance with manufacturer specifications, preserves system integrity, and supports regulatory acceptance during inspection and survey. The justification asserts that generic substitution presents unacceptable risk to personnel safety and vessel operability due to potential incompatibility with existing equipment or damage to the forklift truck. East Penn Manufacturing holds CAGE Code 04055 and is classified as a large business. No other source can meet minimum government requirements without unacceptable risk.
