About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps is seeking to procure 169 Backhoe Loaders (BHLs) through a competitive solicitation to replace their aging Caterpillar 420D and 420E models. The procurement requires a commercially available wheeled, engine-driven vehicle with specific military modifications, including green paint, an embedded rifle rack, NATO slave receptacle, and fuel compatibility with JP5, JP8, and F24 fuels. Offerors must submit a comprehensive proposal limited to 45 pages, including a 5-page Business Volume, 25-page Technical Volume, and 10-page Past Performance Volume, demonstrating technical capabilities and past performance. Evaluation will focus on technical merit, past performance, and the ability to meet detailed performance specifications covering operational requirements, transportability, and compatibility with existing work tools. The proposal response deadline is March 31, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with electronic submissions mandatory through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module.
The solicitation does not have a specific small business set-aside, but includes a 5% total small business participation goal. The contract will cover delivery of BHLs to multiple Marine Corps installations in CONUS and OCONUS locations, including bases in California, North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Japan, and Hawaii. The procurement period spans up to 60 months with a potential 36-month extension, with an expected production rate of at least three BHLs per month after successful testing. Contractors must provide comprehensive support including program management, logistics support, configuration management, testing, and training, with warranty support requiring 7-day repair cycles for CONUS and 14-day cycles for OCONUS locations. The place of performance is primarily centered at Quantico, VA, with delivery locations spread across multiple Marine Corps bases. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves a significant investment in replacing critical heavy equipment for Marine Corps operations.
