CUSTOMER ORDERING PROCESS

Steps for placing an order through HEPP:

1. Complete the required “HEPP – Customer RFQ Form” with the 

information applicable to your request. (RFQ form available on the 

HEPP website.)

2. Generate a Control number (for tracking purposes); which can be as 

simple as DODAAC followed by some alpha-numerical combinations. Put this number in the subject line of the email and in the 

spec document which becomes your control number for all future 

correspondence..

3. Create a draft “generic spec” (PDF/WORD doc). Do not list any 

manufacturers, model numbers and/or trademarks. Put the control 

number, DODAAC, quantity, specs and delivery location on the 

document.

Ordering Lift‐Trucks (ie: Forklifts, Electric Order Picker, Electric Pallet Jack, Front/Side Loader Very Narrow Aisle, Stand 

Up Reach, Stand Up or Sit Down Rider, Tugger, Walkie Stacker): Use Excel “Lift Truck Template” from HEPP Website.

number under the HEPP program without a detailed sole 

source justification which would have to be approved by 

the highest levels in DLA (ie. very difficult).

b. Additional items such as spare parts, accessories, attachments, maintenance manuals, training, etc. must be included in the generic specs. The scope of our program only 

permits us to purchase these items at the same time that the 

equipment is being purchased.

4. Send an email to HEPP@dla.mil with your RFQ form and specs, 

with the Control number in the subject line.

5. The requirements will be entered into our system and you will receive a confirmation email. The buyer will open a solicitation for 

approximately two weeks. Once the solicitation closes the buyer 

will take about another week to rank the offers.
