Compact Tractor Equipment

The US Air Force is seeking to purchase a Compact Track Loader, specifically a Bobcat brand model, to be used for repairing storm-water conveyances and cleaning up after natural disasters. The equipment will be used at Hurlburt Field, AFB, and the purchase is justified due to the existing inventory of Bobcat track loaders and the trained personnel who operate them. The key features of the required equipment include the ability to work with existing attachments valued at $148K. • The purchase is estimated to cost $95,000. • The equipment will be used for repair and maintenance work. • The Air Force has already researched alternative options and determined that the Bobcat brand is the best fit due to the existing inventory and trained personnel.
