39 -- Extendable Boom Forklift Spare Parts

Marine Corps Systems Command plans to award a sole-source contract to JLG Industries, located in McConnellsburg, PA, for the procurement of Class IX consumable and repair parts for the Extendable Boom Forklift (EBFL). The contract leverages JLG as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, which maintains a comprehensive stock and issue capability for all EBFL spare parts, with the exception of common items managed by the Defense Logistics Agency. JLG's global product support network complements the standard U.S. Marine Corps wholesale and retail supply systems, ensuring efficient and reliable parts availability. Although the procurement is proposed on a sole-source basis, other firms interested in providing the required services are invited to submit written notifications to the Contracting Officer within 15 days of the notice publication. The government may decide not to compete the contract based on received responses, at its sole discretion. Written inquiries should be directed to the Marine Corps Systems Command at Quantico, VA, as telephone inquiries will not be accepted. This approach aims to ensure the most effective support and maintenance capabilities for the EBFL through a streamlined acquisition process.
