--Catepillar Generator Maintenance Agreement

The Government intends to place a maintenance contract with Ziegler Power/Caterpillar Systems, located in Bloomington, MN, for a backup generator previously purchased through the same vendor. This contract will cover one base year plus four option years, ensuring continuous maintenance services necessary to uphold the generator's 10-year Caterpillar warranty. The original purchase was competitively procured, and to preserve warranty conditions, the Government plans to award the maintenance agreement directly to Ziegler Power Systems. The total estimated acquisition exceeds $25,000 and will be executed under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures as outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13. This acquisition is unrestricted, meaning any interested business capable of meeting the Government’s requirements may submit a written expression of interest within 10 days of the notice publication. If no substantive responses are received within this timeframe, the Government will proceed with placing the order with Ziegler Power/Caterpillar Systems. The contracting office is located in Saint Paul, MN, and inquiries can be directed to MSgt Ann Feist at the provided contact details. This contract aligns with NAICS code 333611, relevant to power generator manufacturing and maintenance, and is managed by the Department of Defense’s W7NG Uspfo Activity Mnang 133 office.
