V-22 Cargo Rail System

The General Services Administration’s Assisted Contracting Branch B is soliciting two units of the V-22 Cargo Rail System, part number 31926-01, under solicitation number 47QSSC-26-Q-0201, with a response deadline of June 22, 2026. The requirement is for a commercial item under FAR 12 and is structured as a combined synopsis-solicitation with no set-aside, though several small business clauses are included, indicating potential interest in small business participation. Offerors must submit a complete quotation including technical documentation proving compliance with the specified salient characteristics, such as a lightweight aluminum rail system with crowned rollers, anti-friction bearings, adjustable pallet guides, and the ability to support 5,000 lbs over 88 inches and 2,500 lbs over 40 inches. All items must be “brand name or equal,” and offerors must certify compliance with applicable standards, particularly MIL-STD-129R, which governs labeling, packaging, and shipping with detailed requirements for markings including NSN, CAGE code, part number, quantity, preservation method, shelf life, hazardous material data, and both human-readable and machine-readable barcodes conforming to ANSI/ISO standards. The delivery is to Jacksonville, NC, within 120 days after award, with F.O.B. terms to be specified by the offeror. Complete registration in SAM.gov and the OMS Vendor Portal is mandatory prior to award, and failure to submit signed MIL-STD-129R documentation or to meet the deadline will result in rejection. Award is anticipated to be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, though not formally stated, due to the emphasis on strict compliance with technical, labeling, packaging, and registration requirements rather than scored evaluation criteria. The contract incorporates multiple FAR clauses including security restrictions, trafficking in persons compliance, Buy American and Trade Agreements certifications, small business subcontracting obligations, whistleblower protections, and safeguarding requirements for information systems. Contractors must comply with personal identity verification standards for personnel, and subcontracts require screening against exclusion lists. Electronic invoicing through EDI or the OMS Vendor Portal is required, with payments processed via electronic funds transfer. All items must be preserved and labeled in accordance with MIL-STD-129R, including gross weight, proper shipping name, UN/NA hazardous material identifiers, and transportation control numbers on military shipping labels
