Tractors

PSC Category 24-P (Tractors) encompasses a broad range of agricultural, landscaping, and industrial equipment procurement by federal agencies. These tractors include wheeled and tracked models used for various purposes such as grounds maintenance, snow removal, construction, and agricultural operations. The category covers diverse equipment types, from compact utility tractors to heavy-duty agricultural machines, with specifications ranging from small 30-horsepower units to larger 140-horsepower models.

Federal contract awards under this PSC category demonstrate significant diversity across government agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of the Army, Department of the Interior, and USDA are frequent purchasers, with contract values typically ranging from $50,000 to $150,000 for individual units. Most solicitations are set aside for small businesses, with particular emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and total small business set-asides. Commonly awarded brands include John Deere, Kubota, and Ventrac, with performance locations spanning multiple states including California, Illinois, Nebraska, and New Mexico.

Recent federal contract opportunities for tractors demonstrate extensive requirements across government operations. Agencies are seeking tractors with specialized attachments like snow plows, mowers, loaders, and brush removal equipment. Specific requirements include capabilities for orchard operations, grounds maintenance at national wildlife refuges, military base infrastructure management, and embassy facility maintenance. Notable solicitations include the VA's procurement of compact utility tractors with specific implements, the Army's requirements for snow removal and landscaping equipment, and the Department of the Interior's needs for agricultural and maintenance tractors across various national facilities.
