409th CSB TCC - Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Maintenance & Repair Services

04/13/2026 Clarification: We have received questions relating to the number of questionnaires required in a quote submission or whether it is possible to combine experience from several sources to meet the requirements outlined in the solicitation. While the deadline for submission of questions has already passed, I think these questions should be addressed since the submission of these questions makes it clear there are aspects of the solicitation which may have been overlooked or are not entirely clear. Please refer to pages 61 and 68 of the solicitation, these pages provide guidance on what is required to meet the standard for Technical Sub-factor 2: Experience in Maintenance and Repair Services. You will notice the following is stated in the second bullet of Sub-factor 2, “…experience in performing maintenance and repair services rendered within Europe in accordance with standard commercial practices…” As this is only an excerpt used to highlight the more relevant information for the purposes of this email, I recommend going back and reading through all the instructions on submitting a Quote/Offer. I refer you to the excerpt from page 61 and 68 because it provides the parameters on what type of experience is acceptable. As indicated by the excerpt the experience should be for services rendered in Europe. This means the project referenced in the experience questionnaires can be for services performed outside of Germany, as long as the country where the services were preformed is a European country. Additionally, there services are not limited to only work with the U.S. government. Thus, as long as the projects referenced in your questionnaire submission are for services performed within seven (07) years; are for performance of at least twelve (12) months; and the project has a minimum annual value of $400,000.00, the project referenced in the questionnaire can be for services provided in a Europe and can include customers who are not the U.S. Government. I hope this information clears up the questions that have been brought to my attention. The current closing date of the Solicitation is 2:00 CT on 15 April 2026. Please be aware that Quotes/Offers must be submitted to the Contract Specialist, and to myself no later than this date and time.
