The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Europe and Africa is conducting open market research to identify U.S.-based manufacturers capable of supplying commercial-off-the-shelf power tools that operate natively on the European 220V–240V, 50Hz electrical grid without requiring external transformers or adapters. This Request for Information is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to issue a contract or purchase any products. Responses are strictly voluntary, and respondents will not be compensated for any costs incurred in preparing their submissions. The agency seeks technical specifications confirming that proposed tools are designed for native European voltage and frequency, are manufactured or assembled in the United States, and do not rely on external conversion equipment. Respondents must provide detailed answers to three core questions regarding product compatibility, manufacturing origin, and power requirements, along with company information including name, address, DUNS and CAGE codes, point of contact details, and a narrative describing capabilities and past performance. Submissions must be formatted as a single PDF document, not exceeding ten pages in length, using Times New Roman 12-point font, and may include proprietary markings where applicable. All responses are due by July 24, 2026, and must be sent to Ryan Piecyk at ryan.piecyk@dla.mil.
