MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND-MHE GLOBAL ASHORE MAINTENANCE

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Military Sealift Command (MSC) requires global maintenance, inspection, repair, and certification services for its fleet of shore-based Material Handling Equipment (MHE). This initiative aims to ensure the operational readiness and safety of MHE utilized at MSC warehouses and training centers worldwide. The MSC is seeking eligible businesses to provide these essential services as part of their mission to support naval operations. Work Details The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, supervision, and equipment necessary to perform the following tasks: annual weight tests, inspections, certifications, and emergent repairs on a diverse fleet of MHE. The equipment includes various OEMs such as Hyster, Doosan, CAT, Kalmar with capacities ranging from 4,000 lbs to 65,000 lbs. Services will be performed at MSC facilities across the Continental U.S. (CONUS) and Outside the Continental U.S. (OCONUS), including locations such as Guam, Italy, Bahrain, and Japan. The Contractor must meet repair timelines of ten (10) working days for CONUS locations and fifteen (15) working days for OCONUS locations. All work must comply with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technical manuals and relevant Naval publications including NAVSUP P-538 and NAVSEA SW0-23-AH-WHM-10. Period of Performance The anticipated period of performance includes one (1) base year and four (4) one-year option periods commencing on or about 01 August 2026. Place of Performance Services will be performed at MSC warehouse and training facilities located across the Continental U.S. (CONUS) and Outside the Continental U.S. (OCONUS), including but not limited to Guam, Italy, Bahrain, and Japan. Bidder Requirements Bidders must demonstrate capabilities in providing maintenance services for MHE by submitting a capabilities package that includes company profile details such as number of employees, office locations, CAGE Code; point of contact information; small business standing; experience in MHE maintenance; technical approach for servicing a multi-OEM fleet; process for managing deliverables; strategy for deploying technicians; supply chain logistics plan; and authorization or certification for specific equipment types. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior MSC MHE maintenance and recertification awards under N3220522D0011 to Craft Forklift And Material Handling Service (approximately $300,611, 04/04/22–10/07/27). The prior work includes repair, service, annual inspection, weight testing, and certification/recertification of shore-based MHE—specifically Hyster forklifts—at MSC training and warehouse facilities (e.g., MUTC and TCHR), with both annual and emergent repairs. The current requirement for global MHE annual weight tests, inspections/certifications, and emergent repairs across multiple OEMs and locations is consistent with a continuation of the same type of forklift/MHE maintenance and recertification services.
