About this opportunity
Air Force Space Command is preparing to procure one electric walk-behind forklift under total small business set-aside, with a sources sought notice due by July 28, 2026.
The forklift will be delivered to Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado 80011 within 45 days of order receipt, during business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. MST, Monday–Friday excluding federal holidays), with liftgate delivery required due to limited access.
Technical specifications are rigid: forks must raise a minimum 122 inches, support at least 3,000 pounds when fully raised, adjust for industry-standard pallet sizes, feature adjustable forks only (no standing platform), incorporate electric motor with electronic power steering, and include ergonomic handle features. The unit must operate in outdoor warehouse and exterior environments on paved surfaces with enhanced maneuverability for tight corners and narrow aisles. A minimum one-year commercial warranty is required. The government prefers lithium batteries and 110V chargers as part of the delivery.
Prospective vendors must submit capabilities statements including CAGE code, Unique Entity Identifier, small business status if applicable, current or previously-awarded government contracts, and industry ratings or awards. Vendors must also respond to detailed technical questions covering inventory status and lead times, warranty options, hazardous waste handling accessories, battery life expectancy under constant use, charging time and rapid-charge availability, maintenance requirements, replacement parts availability, and back-order frequency.
Electronic responses should be directed to stephen.miller.43@spaceforce.mil.
