Powidz SSA 10K Forklift

The contract solicitation W912PB26QA110 calls for a firm-fixed-price lease of a single 10,000-pound diesel-powered forklift with an enclosed cab to support U.S. Army operations at FOS Powidz, Poland, under a 12-month base period with a six-month option. The equipment must meet EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC standards and display the CE Mark, while also complying with Polish safety regulations and U.S. Government inspection protocols. Performance requires maintaining 95% operational readiness, with 100% compliance on maintenance timelines—including 24-hour replacement for non-mission-capable equipment—and full adherence to the Performance Work Statement, which outlines responsibilities for maintenance, emergency support, documentation, and joint inspections. Delivery and acceptance occur exclusively at Fort Knox, Kentucky, with the contractor responsible for transportation, installation, and turn-in services; the forklift will be operated by U.S. forces in Poland, necessitating compliance with local immigration and work permit requirements for non-EU personnel. The solicitation is unrestricted, with no small business set-aside, and award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, prioritizing the lowest evaluated price among offers meeting minimum technical standards. Offerors must provide their UEI and CAGE code, and must adhere to stringent compliance provisions including prohibitions on contracting with inverted domestic corporations, trafficking in persons, forced labor in Xinjiang, and business ties to the Maduro regime, along with cybersecurity obligations under DFARS 252.204-7012 and 7018, and antiterrorism measures per DFARS 252.225-7043. Contractors must secure Polish access approvals for personnel, ensure environmental compliance and hazardous spill remediation, and designate a qualified contract manager fluent in English within 72 hours of award. Invoicing must be processed exclusively via Wide Area WorkFlow, with payments directed to a U.S. Army central receiving point and administered by specific DoDAACs. The contract incorporates multiple FAR and DFARS clauses, including options to extend services and contract terms, protest procedures, electronic funds transfer, and security prohibitions, all subject to deviations that modify standard regulatory requirements to align with operational needs.
