## Description

THIS IS A NOTICE OF AWARD FOR A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE: The National Park Service is awarding Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co, Inc located at 1550 Industrial PKWY, Brunswick, Ohio 44212-2349, United States; a large business, the contract to provide the Excavator Repairs service requirement for Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which is being purchased for $15,826.74. Please see attached justification document for more details.

This requirement is for the repair of the rotary manifold for a John Deere 85G Excavator which requires removal, inspection and reconditioning for Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Murphy Tractor is the only John Deere Certified Dealer that is close to the park in Cleveland/ Akron and the surrounding areas. The rotary manifold assembly (10-port configuration) and associated seal kits are proprietary components designed to OEM specifications.

Compatibility, warranty protection, and operational integrity necessitate procurement of John Deere-approved parts and qualified service support. Substituting non-OEM components may compromise system performance, increase failure risk, and create liability exposure. If the park outsourced this requirement to another Certified John Deere Dealer that is further away this would add excessive additional cost for reassembly of the machine and due to transportation costs.

Additionally, this equipment must be urgently repaired in order to support park operations for the maintenance of park railroad tracks which could be impeded due to mudslide or other hazards. Failure to repair this equipment in a timely manner could endanger park staff and guests. Due to the above, sole-sourcing to Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co, Inc ensures the most expedient and compliant resolution to these urgent repairs. Questions may be directed to Ryan R Begany in writing by email to ryan_begany@ios.doi.gov. NO PHONE inquiries will be accepted.
