About this file
This is a Single Source Justification form (FWS Form 3-034) submitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a simplified acquisition below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
The acquisition seeks a FECON FMX28EXC-FC-XXV-OLPK1-M attachment to match specifications for a 2025 Bobcat E55 R2-Series Compact Excavator, with product identification B6G913636. The justification documents that FECON meets all technical requirements with specifications of 3.5-8 EXC Metric tons, 28-inch working width, 40-inch overall width, 750-pound weight, and 12-40 gallons-per-minute flow range with 14 DCR/Cubit Tools. The contractor, FECON, demonstrates strong qualifications with over 25,000 Bull Hog mulching heads manufactured over 30+ years of industry history. Other capable sources are identified as any SAM.gov registered vendor able to procure and resell FECON attachments; however, SAM.gov registration is noted as a barrier to competition. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined at time of award. The justification was recommended by Program Officer Forest Kemp on May 24, 2026, and approved by Contracting Officer Jeremy Riva on June 15, 2026, under FAR Part 13 sole source acquisition procedures.
