Purchase Order W912ES25P0017

This is a firm fixed-price purchase order contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to John Fabick Tractor Co, operating as Fabick Cat Division, for the rebuild of a Caterpillar Model D7 bulldozer. The $356,678.34 contract is critical to maintaining the operational readiness of the USACE's Dredge Goetz Fleet, as the rebuilt bulldozer must be fully functional by the start of the dredging season on May 1, 2025. The sole-source justification is based on the requirement for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Caterpillar parts and certified technicians, which are only available through the manufacturer's authorized dealer network. The contract was not set aside for any type of small business. Fabick Cat, as the Caterpillar dealer for the region, has a long history of supporting USACE operations with a wide range of equipment, parts, and services.
