One 15' Batwing Brush Hog

Cherokee Nation Entertainment, LLC. is seeking a single 15’ Batwing Brush Hog for delivery to Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Oklahoma, under Solicitation #164530, with bids due by April 27, 2026. The procurement is governed by tribal-specific requirements rather than standard federal acquisition regulations, emphasizing compliance with Cherokee Nation Law and internal policies. Bidders must hold a valid Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) certificate, submit a copy of both sides of the certificate with their proposal, and pay a fee equal to one-half of one percent of the contract award amount. Failure to provide the TERO certificate results in the loss of preferential treatment. Offerors must also certify that neither they nor their principals are debarred by any government entity and comply with Cherokee Nation Law 28 C.N.C.A. §20, which prohibits contracting with first-degree relatives of elected tribal officials. A performance and payment bond is required for contracts exceeding $100,000, though TERO-certified firms may be granted flexibility in bonding capacity. If the equipment is to be used in any capacity related to gaming operations, a Cherokee Nation Gaming Commission license and associated background checks for personnel are mandatory. The equipment must meet specific technical standards: a minimum 10-gauge steel deck, a cutting height range of 1.5 inches to 14 inches, and a warranty of at least two to three years. Delivery is required at Will Rogers Downs, 20900 S 4200 RD, Claremore, OK 74019, though no FOB terms or shipping instructions are specified. Bidders must submit a quote sheet detailing hourly rates, work effort, and delivery schedule, with all substitutions or exceptions clearly stated. Proposals must be sent via email to [email hidden] by 5:00 PM on the deadline; late submissions will not be accepted. No formal federal entity identifiers like UEI or CAGE codes are required, and socioeconomic set-asides under federal programs do not apply. Evaluation will be based on a trade-off between technical compliance and price, not on a lowest price technically acceptable basis. Acceptance of the equipment will occur at the delivery site, with CNE retaining authority to reject all bids, award multiple contracts, or negotiate prior to selection. Payment procedures, invoicing methods, and contract administration details are not specified beyond the contacts for TERO and CNGC
