Scope
USS AMERICA (LHA-6) Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) employs a suite of Material Handling Equipment (MHE) to move aeronautical components, engines, support equipment, and palletized material in support of intermediate-level maintenance and flight operations.
These assets are essential to aviation logistics throughput, stores onload/offload, and hangar bay and flight deck material movement.
Sustained operational use, shipboard environmental exposure, and deferred depot-level maintenance have degraded the material condition of twenty three (23) assets to the point that they are non-operational or unable to hold current weight-handling certification.
Ship's force personnel are qualified to operate this equipment but are neither trained nor certified to perform depot-level overhaul, load testing, or weight-handling certification.
Refurbishment of these assets during the upcoming Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) will restore full MHE capability, extend equipment service life, and prevent critical work stoppages in the aviation maintenance and supply chain.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
