Purchase Order 140F0S25P0016

Federal Contracts LLC, a Tampa, Florida-based SBA-certified HUBZone small business specializing in heavy equipment rentals and sales, was awarded a $174,059 firm fixed-price purchase order by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 on September 25, 2025. The contract calls for the procurement and delivery of a 130+ horsepower Compact Track Loader (CTL) with specialized forestry attachments to the Kern National Wildlife Refuge in California. The specification includes a Cat 275 XE model or equivalent equipped with a standard 4-in-1 bucket, forestry package with protective guarding, an Ansul liquid fire suppression system with remote activation, and a 72-inch mulching head. The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category despite initial documentation suggesting otherwise, and includes delivery by the ultimate completion date of September 28, 2026.

The award to Federal Contracts LLC reflects the company's established track record as a reliable federal equipment vendor across multiple agencies, including the Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management. In addition to the primary equipment delivery, the contract encompasses a 3-year/2,000-hour equipment protection plan and comprehensive operator training as required by the original solicitation. Federal Contracts LLC's extensive experience providing specialized heavy machinery and equipment to federal civilian agencies, combined with its HUBZone certification and maintained service facility capabilities, positioned the company favorably for this procurement supporting wildlife refuge operations and land management activities.
