J--TX-ANAHUAC NWR-CAT D6K DOZER REPAIRS

The contract awards repair services for a Caterpillar D6K LGP dozer at the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, under a firm-fixed price arrangement administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Strategic Acquisition Team 2, part of the Department of the Interior. The work involves a complete diagnostic assessment, undercarriage component replacement using only genuine Caterpillar OEM parts, monitor installation and programming, track reassembly, and operational testing in strict accordance with manufacturer specifications, with final acceptance occurring on-site by Refuge personnel. Performance is scheduled from May 28 to July 27, 2026, with delivery terms set at FOB Destination, meaning ownership and risk transfer upon arrival at the refuge. The solicitation, issued under number 140FS226Q0106, was unrestricted and open to all qualified bidders, with no small business set-aside, but included clauses requiring compliance with labor standards, equal opportunity, anti-trafficking, whistleblower protections, and sustainable practices as mandated by FAR. The evaluation process emphasized technical acceptability as a gatekeeper criterion, requiring demonstrated experience with D6K or equivalent heavy equipment, the capacity to deliver repairs within the timeframe, and provisions for labor and manufacturer warranties, followed by assessment of past performance through three relevant government contract examples; price was considered only among technically acceptable offerors with acceptable performance history, under a best-value trade-off model rather than LPTA. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, with payment processing handled per the Prompt Payment Act and accounting data required as specified in Block 25. No formal packaging or marking requirements were outlined, and although attachments such as the Scope of Work, Statement of Work, SF-1449, and FAR clauses were referenced, no structured list or detailed specifications for them were provided. All proposals were required to include a Unique Entity Identifier and confirm compliance with all solicitation provisions, submitted via email by the May 25, 2026 deadline. The contracting officer and point of contact is Khalilah Brown, with no COR, COTR, or PCO details provided in the documentation.
