About this forecast
The Department of the Interior, contracting for the Bureau of Land Management, is forecasting a new requirement to replace its Caterpillar 140H motor grader, with an estimated solicitation release date of 2027-01-01. The existing grader has reached the end of its service life and meets federal replacement criteria due to age, condition, and operating costs, while rising repair costs, declining equipment value, and safety concerns make continued use unreliable. The replacement supports public lands infrastructure, wildfire response routes, and resource management activities, and its funding was already collected through Working Capital Fund ownership charges, making it a planned and fully funded replacement.
The estimated award value range is $250,000 to $499,000 under NAICS 333120, Construction Machinery Manufacturing, with place of performance in Oregon, USA. Ryan Bates, Facility Operations Supervisor in the Engineering role at the Vale District Office, is the point of contact, reachable at rbates@blm.gov or +15414736257.
Forecast text
The Bureau of Land Management is requesting replacement of its current motor grader through the Working Capital Fund program. The grader has reached the end of its service life and meets federal replacement criteria due to age, condition, and operating costs.
This equipment is essential for maintaining public lands infrastructure, supporting wildfire response routes, and completing resource management activities. Continued use of the existing grader is becoming increasingly unreliable and creates safety concerns. Repair and maintenance costs continue to rise, while the equipment's value continues to decline.
Funding for this replacement has already been collected through Working Capital Fund ownership charges, making this a planned and fully funded replacement. Acquiring a new grader will provide a safe, reliable, and cost-effective piece of equipment while avoiding impacts to annual operating budgets.
Replacing the grader now will help ensure continued support for public access, employee safety, wildfire preparedness, and ongoing land management operations.
