About this file
This is a Sources Sought Notice for a new tractor procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at the Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center in White City, Oregon. The VA is conducting market research to identify small business vendors capable of supplying a wheeled industrial tractor with specific performance requirements, including a front-end loader and backhoe. The tractor specifications include a 45.0 hp diesel engine, 3-point PTO, hydrostatic transmission, four-wheel drive, and an enclosed cab with heat/AC.
The Sources Sought Notice targets businesses with NAICS code 333112 (Lawn and Garden Tractor Manufacturing) and a small business size standard of 1,500 employees. Responses are due by 3 PM PST on 11/26/2025, with interested vendors required to submit a two-page response detailing contact information, business size/classification, and potential compliance with Buy American requirements. The VA intends to use this market research to potentially develop a competitive solicitation, with a future pre-solicitation announcement to be published on SAM.gov if the project moves forward.
