This contract concerns an urgent, government‑mandated emergency towing and recovery service performed on a burning tractor‑trailer that blocked Interstate 69/Highway 281 near Falfurrias, Texas. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency invoked a sole‑source award under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) due to “urgent and compelling circumstances,” selecting Coronado Wrecking Company as the sole vendor. The award relies on price‑history analysis and is anticipated to exceed the $40,000 threshold, though the exact amount is not disclosed.
