Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Serious: Pricing sheet and part of the work statement not read. The Exhibit A Equipment Price Sheet was attached but not read, and the work statement text stops after Part 3, so equipment types, quantities and delivery terms are not known.
- Worth checking: Incomplete quotes may be dropped. Quotes missing required documents or the completed pricing can be eliminated or rated unacceptable.
- Worth checking: Multiple delivery locations and repairs at your cost. Forklifts go to Bremerton, Bangor, Everett and sites within 50 miles, and repairs that take over a day move to your facility at no extra charge.
Show all 7Show fewer
- Minor: Service Contract Labor Standards wage determination applies. Department of Labor wage determination 2015-5417 Rev 32 is incorporated, which sets minimum pay for covered workers.
- Minor: Small guaranteed minimum. The Government is not obliged to order under $2,500.00; the minimum guarantee is met by the first task order after award.
- Minor: Defense cybersecurity clauses listed. The clauses include safeguarding covered defense information and NIST SP 800-171 assessment rules; the text read does not say if they apply to forklift leasing.
- Minor: Questions due October 28, 2026. Questions go by email to both contacts; answers are posted on SAM.gov.
