Electric Tugger

This procurement activity is a Sources Sought notice issued by the Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force Space Command at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, under solicitation number FA252126QB082. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research to identify qualified manufacturers or suppliers capable of providing a battery-powered electric tugger designed to push, pull, and steer heavy wheel loads up to 100,000 pounds, thereby reducing manual handling strain and increasing operational productivity. This notice is not a formal solicitation; it does not establish contract terms, pricing, or award criteria, but seeks capability statements and commercial product information from interested parties to inform potential future acquisition planning. Respondents are required to submit a concise capabilities package in PDF format by the stated deadline, which includes product specifications, evidence of prior commercial or government sales, socioeconomic status, company size under NAICS code 333924, and registration information such as DUNS, CAGE codes, and active SAM.gov status. Disclosures regarding foreign ownership and use of foreign nationals, along with supplier or manufacturer status and any teaming arrangements, are also requested. The place of performance and likely inspection and acceptance location is at Patrick SFB, Florida. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing data, or delivery schedules are included since this is strictly a pre-solicitation market research effort. Communication is limited to written submissions via email, as telephone responses are explicitly disallowed. The intent is to gauge industry capabilities before any formal solicitation is released.
