MEMORANDUM FOR MICC-Fort Drum

SUBJECT: Brand Name Exact Match Memo for FedBid Buy 925776

1. CGMCG will be trading in two John Deere 885 Tractors and John Deere G100 Lawn Tractor for the purchase of three John Deere 2025R Compact Utility Tractors with 60D auto connect 7-iron mid-mount discharge mowers. The John Deere 2025R Compact Utility Tractor is a small footprint and compact size for maneuvering in and around horse barns and loafing sheds. It’s easy to use, intuitive controls and stability when stacking hay and mowing over uneven or tough terrain.

2. With the Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard already having John Deere tractors on hand, it will be an easy transition to the new tractors. It will increase productivity of the Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard and reduce training time. With the Auto Connect mowers, it allows the least amount of time and effort in changing implements, allowing more time to work on projects.

3. The Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard has petroleum, oil, lubrication, and parts for John Deere Tractors oh hand. Additionally, there are implements on hand that can be utilized with the John Deere tractors.

4. For the reasons listed above, the Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard requests that a brand name or particular item(s) purchase of John Deere 2025R compact Utility Tractors with 60D auto connect 7-iron mid-mount discharge mowers.

5. The POC for this memorandum is the undersigned at 785-239-3179 or Jennifer.l.houle.mil@mail.mil.
