Forlift Prongs

The Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Distribution office in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, intends to sole source a contract for forklift prongs to Equipment Incorporated, located in Texarkana, Texas. This notice, published in compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), serves as a Government Notice of Intent, highlighting that the contract will be awarded under FAR Part 13 authority without a formal solicitation or Request for Quote. The announcement is not itself a solicitation or bid invitation but seeks to inform interested parties and invite capable sources to submit evidence demonstrating that competition would be more beneficial to the Government. Submissions should include capability statements and proposals, which the agency will consider; however, any offers received will be used solely to evaluate whether a suitable alternative supplier exists. The contract is related to the acquisition of forklift prongs, with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 333924 and a size standard of 750 employees. The performance location is Texarkana, Texas, specifically for the DLA Distribution Red River site. Points of contact for this procurement include Sharon M. Stine, Acquisition Specialist, and Genesis B. Griffin, Contract Specialist. The notice clarifies that no solicitation document is available, no technical information requests via telephone will be entertained, and no contract award will be based solely on responses to this notice. The primary objective is to ensure transparency and regulatory compliance while maintaining the option to execute a sole source award with the anticipated contractor.
