The US Army Contracting Command-DTA issued this combined synopsis/solicitation, W912CH-26-R-0035, to acquire an estimated 164 Light Capability Rough Terrain Forklifts (LCRTF). This follow-on effort is a sole-source procurement directed to J C Bamford Excavators Limited (JCB) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as the government determined that competing the requirement for this highly specialized equipment would result in a substantial duplication of costs. The acquisition is structured as a firm-fixed-price requirements contract featuring five one-year ordering periods. Performance is centered in Warren, Michigan, with a response deadline of June 29, 2026.
The LCRTF is a specialized vehicle designed for lifting and materiel handling tasks, including clearing supply landing zones and loading combat vehicles, aircraft, and ISO containers. Technical requirements include a 5,000-pound threshold payload capacity at a 24-inch load center, an extendable hydraulic boom, and a drivetrain capable of being towed. The equipment must be C-130 air transportable and air droppable. Deliveries are designated as FOB Destination, while inspection and acceptance will occur at the point of origin.
This opportunity is classified under NAICS 333924 for Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing and PSC 3930 for Warehouse Trucks and Tractors, Self-Propelled. Although the notice is managed through the US Army Corps of Engineers Civil Program Financing, the solicitation was issued by the Army Contracting Command.
