About this file
This is a Brand Name Only Justification form for the purchase of a Caterpillar 262D3 Skid Steer Loader ($70,000) for the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project (FHIP) through the Bureau of Indian Affairs Northwest Region. The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) as the authority for other than full and open competition.
The justification explains that while multiple ISBEE vendors could provide this equipment, Caterpillar is specifically required due to the local dealer support near St. Ignatius, MT, and because FHIP's existing heavy equipment inventory and maintenance expertise is Caterpillar-based. The local Caterpillar dealer can provide rapid repair services and parts, minimizing equipment downtime. The procurement will be posted publicly as a combined synopsis and solicitation under FAR 12.603, and the contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on expected competitive quotations from multiple qualified ISBEE sources. The requirement is for a brush chipper to assist crews in clearing brush off canal easements.
