SOURCES SOUGHT - Bucket Truck Repair

The 140th Logistics Readiness Squadron at Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado is conducting a sources sought announcement to gather market information for the repair of a government-owned vehicle-mounted aerial lift platform, commonly referred to as a bucket truck. This announcement is strictly for market research and planning purposes and is not a solicitation, nor does it request quotes, proposals, or bids. The government is seeking to identify capable small and large businesses with the expertise to perform comprehensive repairs in accordance with the Performance Work Statement, which requires the contractor to provide all personnel, supervision, labor, parts, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to fully restore the equipment to operational status. Deliverables include one fully repaired and certified bucket truck, a detailed invoice listing all parts and labor, and a final, signed ANSI/SAIA A92.2 inspection and certification document confirming compliance with safety and operational standards. The work must be completed at the designated place of performance in Aurora, Colorado, and the contractor is responsible for all freight, transportation, shop supplies, and environmental disposal fees. A firm-fixed-price contract is anticipated, and the acquisition is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5 with a NAICS code of 811198, meaning only small businesses may compete once a solicitation is issued. Interested respondents are required to submit company information including their name, Unique Entity Identification, and point(s) of contact with phone and email, along with a statement affirming their ability to meet the PWS requirements and identifying any ambiguities or uncertainties in the government’s description. Responses must be submitted by the deadline of July 7, 2026, and will be used solely to inform future acquisition decisions. The contracting office located at Buckley Space Force Base, with contact information listed, is the point of contact for inquiries, and no formal evaluation criteria, contract clauses, or pricing details are contained within this notice as it remains in the preliminary market research phase.
