Extended warranty - motorgrader

Chaves County in New Mexico is pursuing a sole source procurement for an extended warranty on a John Deere motor grader (VIN #1DW7706XESF720591), specifically seeking a 72-month or 8,000-hour maintenance warranty covering engine, power and hydraulics, and powertrain systems. The procurement is being handled through the county's Purchasing Department, with a posted date of December 8, 2025, and a protest deadline of December 23, 2025. Interested parties must submit any written objections directly to Analicia Nieto, the Purchasing Director, by phone at 575-624-6615 or via email at ana.nieto@chavescounty.gov. The county has determined competitive bidding is unnecessary due to the warranty being exclusive to John Deere equipment. The procurement process requires potential respondents to be aware that this is a targeted, specific warranty acquisition with precise technical specifications tied to the existing motor grader equipment.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types mentioned in the documentation. The sole source vendor identified is 4 Rivers Equipment, located at 2400 W. Bender Boulevard in Hobbs, New Mexico 88241. The estimated cost for the extended warranty is $27,917.00, representing the total budget for this specific procurement. No incumbent vendor information beyond the current proposed vendor is provided. The procurement does not specify integration requirements with existing infrastructure, though it is clearly related to maintaining previously purchased John Deere motor grader equipment. The award will be directly to 4 Rivers Equipment, contingent on meeting the specified warranty coverage terms for the motor grader.
