USS AMERICA (LHA-6) MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT (MHE) REFURBISHMENT

This Statement of Work outlines a federal requirement from the Commander, Naval Surface Forces Pacific (CNSP) to refurbish and certify seven Material Handling Equipment (MHE) assets for the USS AMERICA (LHA-6) Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD). The assets include three electric forklifts and four diesel rough terrain/heavy-lift forklifts. Currently degraded from shipboard environmental exposure and deferred maintenance, these assets must be restored to full operational capability to prevent aviation logistics work stoppages. The contracted scope of work requires off-ship services at a contractor facility within San Diego County, California. Key tasks include conducting material condition inspections, performing corrosion removal and repainting, executing mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic repairs to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, and conducting rated-load testing. The contractor must also provide Weight Handling Equipment (WHE) certifications compliant with NAVFAC P-307 and NAVSEA SW023-AH-WHM-010. This is a firm-fixed-price, non-personal services requirement. The performance period is 180 business days from the first asset's induction, excluding parts procurement time. Eligible contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and qualify as a small business under NAICS code 811310. Refurbished assets will be held in government-designated storage pending the completion of the USS AMERICA's Docking Selected Restricted Availability, estimated for January 2027.

This federal Request for Quotation (RFQ N00244-26-Q-0081), issued by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego, seeks a contractor to provide Material Handling Equipment (MHE) refurbishment services. This acquisition is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 811310. The selected contractor must provide all labor, management, materials, tools, and transportation to restore seven specific MHE assets to full operational capability. These assets include three electric forklifts (4,500 lb), two diesel rough terrain forklifts (4,000 lb), one diesel rough terrain forklift (10,000 lb), and one heavy-lift forklift (20,000 lb). The period of performance runs from August 19, 2026, through January 31, 2027. All maintenance services must be performed at the contractor's facility located within San Diego County, California. The government plans to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price contract using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. Evaluation will be based on two main factors: Technical Narrative (which includes Technical Approach and Timeline/Schedule Milestones) and Price. To be eligible for evaluation under the Price factor, offerors must receive an "Acceptable" rating on their technical proposal.
