About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service has issued a Special Notice for the award of a sole source contract to repair the engine on a Bobcat T870 Compact Track Loader. The agency has determined that Bobcat of Fresno, an authorized Bobcat service center, is the only vendor with the unique qualifications, tools, knowledge and experience required to safely complete the repair.
The purpose of this sole source award is to restore the critical equipment to safe operating condition as quickly as possible. The Forest Service contacted four other vendors but they lacked the specialized capabilities needed. The anticipated contract price is deemed fair and reasonable based on comparison to past contract pricing. While the agency must move forward with a sole source award due to the urgency of the repair, it plans to better anticipate maintenance needs in the future to allow for more competition when possible.
