This presolicitation notice, issued under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 5.101 and 12.201-1 and supplemented by Department of War guidance including DFARS Deviations 2026-O0003 and 2026-O0028, announces an upcoming acquisition for the rental of two forklifts and one flatbed trailer to support the Booster Test Program at Vandenberg Space Force Base in Lompoc, California. The requirement is structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 532490, with awards limited to small businesses certified under FAR 19.5.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement—limited to five pages—demonstrating their ability to provide the specified equipment and meet the critical 4-hour on-site response requirement for maintenance or repairs; this submission must include company details, CAGE code, UEI, business size certification, and relevant past performance information. No contract will be awarded based on this notice, and no payment is authorized for submissions, which serve solely to inform vendor selection for direct solicitation. Equipment must include two forklifts with a 25K–36K lift capacity, 96-inch tines, anti-static ground drag straps, and UL/ETL approval, along with one 38- to 53-foot flatbed trailer featuring a C-track or sliding winch system and ten 4-inch winch straps each rated at 5,400 lbs WLL. All equipment must be fully inspected, maintained, and delivered in operational condition to Vandenberg SFB through the Lompoc Gate, with performance spanning a base period of six months from 26 May to 27 November 2026 and a potential option period extending through 29 May 2027. Delivery and acceptance occur at the destination, with the vendor responsible for pre-delivery inspection and readiness; no formal packaging, preservation, or marking standards are specified beyond equipment operational requirements. Invoicing will be processed through WAWF post-award, and while the contract type is likely firm-fixed-price, pricing
