The US Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole source contract to Altorfer Inc. for the procurement of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) repair parts for a Caterpillar (CAT) 329DL Excavator. This requirement supports the Mississippi River Project Office (MRPO) in Pleasant Valley, IA, which needs genuine components to overhaul excavator tracks. The procurement aims to standardize and streamline maintenance across the agency's heavy equipment fleet. This opportunity is identified under solicitation number W912EK-26-P-A414 and is designated as an SBA Small Business Administration set-aside.
The procurement is classified under NAICS 333120 Construction Machinery Manufacturing and PSC 2520 Vehicular Power Transmission Components. The sole source rationale is based on Caterpillar Inc.’s restriction of parts sales and certified services to authorized dealers within exclusive geographic territories. Because the MRPO performance location falls within the exclusive territory of Altorfer Inc., they are the only source capable of providing the required OEM parts, honoring manufacturer warranties, and offering cost savings through the OEM core exchange program.
While this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, the government will consider capability statements from firms that demonstrate their ability to comply with these requirements. All supporting evidence and documentation must be submitted to the point of contact, Jubbar Joseph Arshad, by the response deadline of June 18, 2026, at 12:00 PM CT. Information received will be used solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, and a final decision regarding the award remains within the discretion of the government.
