For the lease of a Low Ground Pressure equipped Do

The National Park Service Intermountain Region is soliciting quotations for the three-month lease of a Low Ground Pressure (LGP) equipped dozer to support Yellowstone National Park's 2026 spring opening operations. The required equipment must be a John Deere 750L LGP or equivalent model no more than two model years old with less than 2,500 operating hours, meeting specific technical specifications including a minimum 175 HP SAE net rated power, 6-way hydraulic power-angle-tilt blade, LGP tracks with minimum 34-inch grouser width, ground pressure of 5.0 PSI or less, and a fully enclosed operator station meeting ROPS and FOPS Level II protection standards. Award will be made using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria, meaning the government will select the lowest-priced quotation that meets all technical specifications. All interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with active registration maintained throughout the contract period. Quotations are due by 2:00 p.m. MST on March 6, 2026, with contract performance running from March 15, 2026 through June 15, 2026.

This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 532412 (Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) with a $40 million small business size standard, though no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. Quotations must include pricing for the three-month lease period with separate line-item pricing for transportation costs if the dozer pickup location is outside a 190-mile radius of Yellowstone's North Entrance at Gardiner, Montana; the government will arrange transportation from the pickup site to Yellowstone National Park headquarters at Mammoth, Wyoming. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price commercial contract subject to FAR clauses and service contract labor standards, with payment processed through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). The contracting specialist is Ryan Haselhuhn and can be reached at Ryan_Haselhuhn@nps.gov or 303-241-8172 for inquiries. Performance of the lease will take place at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming during the three-month spring opening period.
