Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Colmery O’Neil VA Medical Center in Topeka, KS, is soliciting proposals for the procurement of one (1) 10,000 lb. capacity forklift. This acquisition aims to replace an existing unit, enhance grounds maintenance capabilities, and reduce long-term rental or leasing costs. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. Proposals are due by June 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM CDT.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for a new, "Name Brand or Equal" forklift with a minimum lift capacity of 10,000 lbs. at a 24” load center. Key specifications include a turbocharged diesel engine (Tier 4 without DPF or ReGen), a maximum total height of 91" (or lower), and an overall lowered height of 48" to fit within a shipping container.

The contractor will be responsible for onsite installation, delivery, and providing training to grounds department staff on service, repair, and maintenance.
