Notice of Intent to Single Source - PIO Scissor Lift

The 35th Contracting Squadron plans to issue a sole-source contract to AKTIO CORPORATION, CAGE JS962, for the rental of two scissor lifts, one MT 1440 telehandler, and one MRT 2150 telehandler to support the 35th Fighter Wing Public Affairs Office at Misawa Air Base, Japan. The rental period is expected to be less than two weeks, and the requirement is justified under RFO 12.102(a) due to market research confirming that AKTIO is the only vendor able to provide all the specified material handling equipment within the required timeframe. While other vendors may offer similar equipment, none can supply the complete combination of units needed, particularly because of limited regional availability of these specific models. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids and serves solely to announce the intent to proceed with a single-source award. The contract will be issued under NAICS code 532412, with no set-aside applied, and all inquiries must be directed in writing to Senior Airman Alexander T. Holliday or First Lieutenant Kade N. Forrester via their official email addresses. The notice was posted on May 27, 2026, with a response deadline of June 12, 2026, and the performance location is Misawa Air Base in Aomori, Japan.
