Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, has issued a Justification & Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the repair of a GRSA Backhoe (2024 Caterpillar 420). This justification explains the rationale for a sole-source award for a simplified acquisition over the micropurchase threshold.
Scope of Work
The required repair involves addressing an engine code related to the SCR system, specifically a rodent-chewed engine wiring harness. The scope necessitates the replacement of the entire engine wiring harness on the 2024 Caterpillar 420 backhoe.
