About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) awarded a definitive, firm fixed-price contract to Wintersteiger Seedmech LLC, a small business, for specialized agricultural research equipment to support crop variety evaluation and agronomic research trials. The contract, valued at $460,865.40, covers procurement of a cone-regulated seeder for high-throughput planting trials and a plot combine harvester for gathering data from food and feed grain crop research experiments at the research station in Charlotte, Vermont. The equipment must incorporate advanced capabilities including electric drive systems, GNSS calibration, variable rate seeding, grain handling and weighing systems, and data management software integration with research-specific plot management platforms. This contract award originated from a total small business set-aside pre-solicitation notice posted in August 2025, through which USDA ARS conducted market research to identify qualified small business contractors capable of meeting the specialized technical specifications.
This award includes a bilateral modification issued as a no-cost extension, extending the period of performance from the original completion date of December 29, 2025 to April 30, 2026. The contract supports USDA ARS's broader agricultural research mission by enabling systematic evaluation of crop varieties and management practices through high-throughput trial capabilities and comprehensive data collection from larger-scale agronomic experiments. As a total small business set-aside, the contract was limited to competition among small business firms, with Wintersteiger Seedmech LLC selected as the prime contractor to deliver these critical research tools for advancing agricultural productivity and sustainability initiatives.
