Sources Sought - 734 AMS JLG Boom Lift Maintenance Service

The U.S. Air Force, through the 734th Air Mobility Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, is seeking information from small businesses capable of providing comprehensive maintenance services for a JLG Boom Lift (Model 800AJ, Serial No. 0300178721). This sources-sought notice, identified as FA524026QM108, is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, limited to businesses categorized under NAICS code 811310 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The contractor will be responsible for performing quarterly frequent inspections, annual inspections with load testing, preventive maintenance, and all necessary repairs in accordance with JLG’s official service and maintenance manuals and appendices detailing inspection procedures, maintenance schedules, and performance criteria. All work must occur on-site at the machine’s operational location in Yigo, Guam, and the contractor must supply all personnel, tools, equipment, and materials without government supervision. The contract is anticipated to include a one-year base period followed by two optional one-year extension periods, though no pricing or estimated value is available at this stage. Key personnel requirements include a Contract Manager available Monday through Friday during standard business hours with full authority to act on behalf of the contractor, and a JLG-certified mechanic with demonstrable expertise in servicing this specific model. The contractor must also submit a Quality Control Plan within 30 days of award and adhere to strict documentation protocols, including initial and follow-up repair reports submitted within five calendar days of identifying or completing a repair, complete with photos, verification results, and cost details. Security requirements mandate compliance with base access protocols and proper handling of key cards and restricted areas, though no formal security clearance is specified. Special provisions include mandatory disclosure and mitigation of any organizational conflicts of interest arising from access to proprietary or source selection data, governed by FAR Subpart 9.5. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site, with criteria focused on structural integrity, absence of leaks, secure and undamaged components, and legibility of safety decals and capacity markings. Submission responses must be sent via email to the point of contact by May 21, 2026, with no formal proposal format required, as this is a pre-solicitation market research effort to identify qualified small business vendors prior to the release of a formal procurement.
