Quick Summary
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified and capable sources for Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Unscheduled Repair Services for Material Handling Equipment (MHE). These services are required for MHE at designated commissary groups and store locations within Group 12, encompassing Texas and New Mexico (Cannon AFB, Fort Bliss, Fort Sam Houston, Fort Worth, Holloman AFB, Kirtland AFB, and Sheppard AFB). Responses are due by February 3, 2026.
Purpose
This Sources Sought notice is for informational and planning purposes only, not a solicitation. The Government will use responses to determine appropriate acquisition strategies, including potential set-aside decisions, for future requirements.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves non-personal support services for MHE, including electric and propane/gasoline forklifts, electric pallet jacks, and electric order pickers/stock selectors. Services include scheduled PM (every three months) and on-demand UM. UM repairs require a response within 16 working hours and completion within 7 working days of approval. Contractor personnel must be ASE certified and comply with OSHA, DOD, and DeCA safety regulations.
