What the notice says

Background: The C.W VA Medical Center EMS Grounds requests to purchase a Petersen 2025 International MV607, Transmission A2000, Fuel Type Diesel, Brake Type Airbrake grapple truck Name Brand or Equal to help pick up downed trees and limbs after hurricanes and severe weather events. This will help with proficiency and timeliness in clearing roads and parking lots. This truck can also be used when trimming trees. The grapple truck will pick up debris much more efficiently and effectively than by hand. This truck is also needed for regular tasks such as clearing paths in the conservancy. In 2024,… (show all)

EMS Grounds assisted with the cleanup of the Bay Pines Medical Center and Lee County Healthcare campuses after the two major hurricanes in 2024. Cleanup efforts were delayed because EMS Grounds did not have the means to remove very large fallen trees and hefty quantities of debris. EMS had to procure emergency purchase orders to have vendors come and provide the services that our own staff would have been able to accomplish with a grapple truck.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
