Purchase Order 140F0S26P0006

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1, awarded a $174,059 firm fixed-price purchase order to Federal Contracts LLC (doing business as Federal Contracts Company) on February 12, 2026, for the procurement and delivery of a 130+ horsepower Compact Track Loader (CTL) for the Finley National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The award is not associated with a small business set-aside. Federal Contracts LLC, an SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Tampa, Florida, was selected to deliver a fully equipped CTL specified as a Caterpillar 275 XE or equivalent, configured with specialized attachments including a 4-in-1 bucket, forestry package with safety guarding, an installed Ansul liquid fire suppression system with remote activation, and a 72-inch mulching head. The equipment package includes comprehensive support services encompassing a three-year/2,000-hour equipment protection plan, four hours of operator orientation training, service manuals, and a five-year remote monitoring system subscription.

This procurement supports land management and forestry operations at the wildlife refuge, with particular emphasis on fire suppression capability given prior equipment losses to fires. Federal Contracts LLC has an established track record as a federal equipment supplier, maintaining extensive indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency and General Services Administration, among others, and has successfully delivered similar specialized equipment to Fish and Wildlife Service and Forest Service facilities nationwide. Performance under the purchase order is scheduled for completion by November 30, 2026, with the equipment configured to meet rigorous safety and operational requirements including rollover and falling object protection systems, LED lighting, and 360-degree visibility for forestry operations.
