About this opportunity

The Department of the Interior, National Park Service, issued a sole-source intent on August 28, 2026, to award urgent transmission repairs for a Kioti tractor at Johnstown Flood National Memorial (JOFL) to Golden Rule Equipment, LLC, with a response deadline of August 31, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time.

JOFL requires emergency repair of the tractor's transmission case, which sustained a significant crack rendering it unsafe to operate. The tractor is the primary equipment for maintaining 14 miles of trails and brush hogging fields. Market research identified 342 vendors under NAICS Code 811310 in Pennsylvania, but Golden Rule Equipment, LLC, in Martinsburg, Pennsylvania, is the only certified Kioti Service provider registered in SAM.gov located near the memorial. The contracting officer justified sole-source award under urgent and compelling circumstances, citing critical timing during peak visitor season, risk of increased damage if the partially disassembled tractor is transported elsewhere, potential safety hazards from trail deterioration, and the vendor's proximity to JOFL. The contract will be awarded under FAR Part 12 as a small business set-aside to a small business concern. This notice is not a formal solicitation; no award will be made on the basis of quotations received in response. Interested parties may submit capability statements by August 31, 2026.
