11K FORKLIFT

The status changed from open to closed. Applicants can no longer submit proposals to this funding opportunity, so any work on an application should stop unless a new or reopened solicitation is announced. Businesses that were preparing submissions should check the agency's listing for a successor opportunity, amendment, or notice of a future cycle, and should review whether any pre-submission contacts or questions remain relevant for future competitions.

Minor editorial changes to the description field: the visible text of the previous and updated versions is identical. The requirements are the same in both:

• one JCB 512-56 11K telehandler, new equipment only
• trade-in of the Hyster 120 forklift (727 hours)
• F.O.B. destination
• PIEE-only quote submission
• Attachment 1 (country of origin) required
• price and technical evaluation factors
• Total Small Business Set-Aside

Both excerpts are cut off at the same point (FAR 52.243-1), so any difference lies in the truncated portion, likely the remaining clauses, the quote instructions, or the due date. Applicants should open the full solicitation and attachments in PIEE and check the closing date, submission instructions, and any amendment notices before quoting.

The open date moved from September 29, 2026 to September 30, 2026, a one-day delay.

Why it matters: The application window now starts a day later. Applicants cannot submit until September 30. No close date change was reported, so if the deadline stays the same, the window is one day shorter. Applicants have a little more time to prepare before opening, but slightly less time overall to submit if the close date is unchanged.

What to do: Confirm the close date in the listing. If your team planned to submit on the first day, move that target to September 30. Check that SAM.gov, Grants.gov, or other registrations are current well before the new open date.
