Mounting Hardware and Fastener Supply

The contract involves the supply of high-strength bolts, brackets, bushings, and associated mounting hardware necessary to securely attach the blade to the motor grader lift group, ensuring proper function and safety during operation. All items must meet stringent performance and durability standards appropriate for heavy-duty earthmoving equipment, with emphasis on material quality, dimensional accuracy, and resistance to wear and environmental degradation. The procurement is designated as a Small Business Set Aside under the SBA, meaning only qualifying small businesses are eligible to respond, and the North American Industry Classification System code 332721 specifies the scope as forgings and stampings, aligning with the manufacturing nature of the required hardware. The solicitation was posted on July 29, 2026, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time. Performance of the contract will be centered in Silver City, New Mexico, with a zip code of 88061, indicating that delivery or fulfillment is expected to occur at or near this location. The contracting entity is the Gila National Forest under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which implies the hardware will be used in public land maintenance or infrastructure projects under federal supervision. No point of contact is listed, and the contract is structured as a subcontract, suggesting it may be part of a larger procurement effort managed by a prime contractor. All interested parties must submit proposals through the official SAM.gov portal prior to the deadline.
