Explain: Engine I414064, a Wildland Fire Engine, experienced a major engine malfunction on Interstate

80 near Cheyenne WY on October 8 returning from three months of fire assignments in CA and OR.

This engine is needed back in service to cover the wildland fire suppression and prescribed fire needs in the Great Lakes Fire Management Zone which protects 12 National Park Service Units in IN, IL, WI, MN, and MI. It is now fire season in the upper Midwest. There has already been a considerable delay due to the government shutdown.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:

Engine I414064, a Wildland Fire Engine, experienced a major engine malfunction on Interstate 80 near

Cheyenne Wy. Research on SAM.gov revealed only two vendors that would work on diesel engines in

Cheyenne. One of these vendors is listed as INELIGIBLE on the site. The local ford dealer is not listed in SAM.gov. The vehicle is disabled and would need to be towed if another vendor could be found that is current in SAM.gov. Due to the remote location of Cheyenne WY, it is not reasonable to find another vendor. Screen shots of SAM.gov are included.
