The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Vicksburg issued a notice of intent to sole source repair and parts services for Caterpillar equipment to Puckett Machinery Company (CAGE Code 1JX26), a small business, with a response deadline of August 28, 2026. The sole-source authority derives from 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 12.102(a), based on the requirement that all parts be genuine OEM Caterpillar and the determination that only an authorized Caterpillar repair facility in the area possesses the capability to supply parts and perform the necessary troubleshooting. The contract will be firm-fixed price.
Work includes repair and parts services for five pieces of Caterpillar equipment: replacing a bucket and teeth on a 320BL excavator; removing and reinstalling drive motors on a 329BL excavator; troubleshooting a 730 articulating dump truck (ADT-P1), installing a new transmission wiring harness, and replacing front suspension cylinders; troubleshooting a second 730 articulating dump truck (ADT-P2) and replacing front suspension cylinders; and purchasing and installing a new factory-style bucket with teeth on a 325DL excavator. Service work is performed at the contractor's facility; USACE personnel handle equipment delivery and pickup. Prior to award, the contractor must provide evidence of training, experience, and a detailed technical description of work execution.
Interested parties may submit capability statements to the primary contact by 4:30 AM CST on September 1, 2026. The Government retains sole discretion whether to compete the contract based on responses received.
