RFB-Mini Track Loader-GaDuGi Corps

Cherokee Nation is soliciting bids for a Mini Track Loader through Procurement #164757, with responses due by July 28, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Local time. The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, but preference is given to those certified by the Cherokee Nation Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO), which serves as a critical eligibility and award modifier within a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable framework. Bidders must submit a fully completed mandatory bid response sheet that includes product details, unit and total pricing, lead time as required, and certification that all technical specifications are met or exceeded. The required equipment must feature a D1305-E4B engine with Stage V emissions compliance, hydrostatic drive, pilot joystick controls, SAHR parking brake, and include both a 4-in-1 bucket and a grapple bucket, with detailed specifications available on the Cherokee Nation bid website. All bids must be submitted either via email to jeananna-hendricks@cherokee.org or by mail to P.O. Box 948, Tahlequah, OK 74465, and must be received by the deadline to be considered. Bidders must certify they are not debarred or suspended, have no conflict of interest, and comply with Buy American Act provisions for iron, steel, and manufactured goods. No conditional bids will be accepted, and no bid may be withdrawn within 30 days of the submission deadline. The Cherokee Nation reserves the right to reject any or all bids based on responsiveness, responsibility, and overall best interest. Payment will be issued within 10 days of receipt of funds, with no formal invoicing system specified. The place of performance is Oklahoma, and while packaging and marking standards are not defined, delivery is expected to the Nation’s designated receiving location. Technical compliance, TERO certification, and bid responsiveness are the primary evaluation factors, with no numerical weighting applied—award will go to the lowest-priced fully compliant and responsible offer. The contact for all bid-related inquiries is Jeananna Hendricks, and all communications must be in writing.
