J--Sole Source - JOFL - Urgent Kioti Tractor Repairs

The National Park Service at Johnstown Flood National Memorial has an emergency need to repair the transmission case of its sole Kioti tractor, which is essential for trail and field maintenance during peak visitor season. Because only one certified Kioti service provider (Golden Rule Equipment, LLC, Martinsburg, PA) is qualified and geographically close, the DOI is proceeding with a sole‑source award under FAR 12.102 (a). Interested parties may submit interest statements, but the contract will be awarded to the identified vendor. • Repair involves removal, replacement, and re‑installation of the rear transmission, bearings, gaskets, and hydraulic fluid. • The tractor is critical for brush‑hogging fields and maintaining 14 miles of trails. • Urgency stems from safety concerns and the high visitor season. • NAICS code 811310 (Machinery Repair & Maintenance) applies; the contract is set‑aside for a small business. • Submission of capability statements is due by 4:00 PM MT, 31 Aug 2026; no competitive bids will be accepted.
