About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Materiel Command Test Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a 6-month rental of a 15,000-pound diesel forklift with hydraulic fuel pump for Edwards Air Force Base in California. This sources sought notice is for informational purposes only and will not result in a contract award or solicitation. Interested companies must demonstrate their ability to provide the complete requirement, including pickup and delivery services to Edwards AFB, as no partial responses will be accepted. Responses must include company identification information, business size classification, socioeconomic status, relevant experience, and any other information deemed useful to the Air Force. All information packages are limited to one page and must be submitted by 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time on June 12, 2025, to the specified contracting personnel.
This procurement falls under NAICS code 532490 for commercial and industrial machinery rental and leasing, with a small business size standard of $40 million in annual receipts. No set-aside designation has been applied to this market research effort, making it open to businesses of all sizes. The specific equipment requirement is for one 15,000-pound capacity diesel forklift equipped with a hydraulic fuel pump, to be rented for a six-month period. While no contract value is specified in this sources sought notice, the relatively short timeline and specific equipment requirements suggest this is likely a moderate-value rental agreement. The Air Force has indicated that pickup and delivery services to Edwards AFB are mandatory components of the requirement, and companies must be capable of supporting all aspects of the rental arrangement.
