The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks one new, unused motor grader shoulder retriever for road maintenance operations on Gila National Forest roads, with quotations due June 5 and questions due June 1. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside.
Place of performance is Silver City, New Mexico. The equipment must be hydraulically operated from inside the cab with the ability to raise, lower, and clean drainages alongside roadways while pulling surfacing materials back onto the roadway for blading. The unit must be compatible with Caterpillar 140 and 150 motor graders; Amendment 0001 (posted May 26) clarifies that either wing-mount or front-mount retriever styles are acceptable, as both Caterpillar models share the same original equipment manufacturer para lift system.

Performance period runs June 15 through October 15, 2026, with a target delivery date of October 15. Two contract line items cover the motor grader shoulder retriever and freight delivery F.O.B. Destination to Silver City. Award will be made as Firm Fixed Price to the lowest price, technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance. Evaluation criteria weigh technical acceptability—manufacturer specifications, compliance documentation, warranty information, and delivery timeline—alongside pricing fairness and reasonableness. Offerors must hold prices firm for 90 calendar days from the June 5 due date. The contracting officer is Michael J. Simpson, michael.simpson@usda.gov, 414-245-2417.
