Agency: INTERIOR, DEPARTMENT OF THE / US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
Location: Falls Church, VA
NAICS: 333120
Scope: Federal

NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI) This is not a request for quotes.

The U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) hereby submits a Notice of Intent (NOI) to inform industry contractors of the Government¿s intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed priced Task Order to Caterpillar Inc off of the USFWS Heavy Equipment IDIQ for the Compact Track Loader w/ Forestry attachments (CAT 275XE) for Shaw AFB Wildland Fire Branch, Wedgefield, SC per the Supply Requirement specifications.

This contract action is for commercial services under NAICS code 333120, Construction Machinery Manufacturing for which the agency intends to award with only one source under Authority, FAR 13.501(a)b), Simplified Acquisition procedures.

Caterpillar (CAT 275XE) has the preferred hydraulic cooler, operator controls, and service and support of any manufacturer.

Down time of equipment repairs and waiting on parts can stop or slow down any required work or fire operations that the Compact Track Loader will be used on.

There are already multiple of these in use within the Wildland Fire Branch and this will allow the other modules to move the compact track loader to new areas without having to transport the specialized attachments for project work.

Training, servicing the equipment, and operation of the equipment will become better across all the modules with the standardization of the machines, and their attachments will allow safer operation and fewer on site delays to complete work.

With these units being used on Air Force bases for their fuels management and control burns, vendors that can travel onto the bases and service and support this equipment is vital.

FWS anticipates work to begin on the delivery of the supply after receipt of the delivery/ purchase order.

This announcement constitutes the only notice.

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.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
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.
