38--MINI EXCAVATOR - Walker River Irrigation

This contract, issued under solicitation number 140A1126Q0045 by the Department of the Interior’s Western Region through the BIA WRO 00011 office in Phoenix, Arizona, is a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order for a mini excavator designated as a CASE CE CX50D CAB or equal, intended to support maintenance operations at the Walker River Indian Irrigation Project in Schurz, Nevada. The requirement is exclusively set aside 100% for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs), and all offerors must self-certify as an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) under the Buy Indian Act, with ongoing compliance required throughout the contract term. Offers must be submitted electronically via email to the Contracting Officer by June 3, 2026, and must include a completed IEE Representation Form, technical specifications, and a Firm Fixed-Price quote inclusive of all costs including taxes, labor, equipment, travel, and delivery. The equipment must meet strict technical parameters: an operating weight between 10,000 and 12,000 pounds, an enclosed cab, a mechanical thumb, and two buckets measuring 18–24 inches in width—one with teeth and one with a smooth edge—while also matching the towing capacity of existing service trucks. Delivery is required within 60 days after award to the Western Nevada Agency in Carson City, Nevada, under FOB Destination terms, with inspection to occur at that location. The award will be made on a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable basis, with technical acceptability determined by conformity to specifications, proof of stock readiness, delivery capability, and authorization as a reseller; price serves as the sole determinant once technical acceptability is confirmed. All invoices must be submitted electronically through the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, include the required line-item details, and a final invoice must be submitted within 60 calendar days of acceptance, accompanied by a certificate of completion and release of claims. The contractor is bound by numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including those on equal opportunity for veterans and persons with disabilities, combating human trafficking, trade agreements, restrictions on foreign purchases, and the Buy American Act. Authorized deviations apply to several clauses, reflecting modified or tailored federal requirements. The contractor must also comply with ethical conduct standards, whistleblower protections, and small business subcontracting requirements, and must not be debarred or suspended. Warranty service
