Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The prior award W911S226PA069 was awarded to Darr Equipment Lp for $315,500 (12/11/25–06/15/26) under a forklift solicitation (S2P2: FORKLIFT SOLICITATION #W911S226U2198). This appears to be closely related to the current requirement for commercial forklifts with specified safety and operational features, suggesting the earlier procurement may represent a continuation of the Army’s forklift buying needs rather than a substantially different effort.
