Deere & Company, through its John Deere Sales and Government Sales Division, was awarded a delivery order contract valued at $20,005.75 by the Pacific West Area of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) to support the Water Reuse and Remediation Research (WRRR) program in Riverside, California. The contract, awarded on September 6, 2018, with completion targeted for November 16, 2018, is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order under the Hardware Superstore GSA Multiple Award Schedule (FSS-51-V). The primary deliverable consists of a specially configured John Deere 1025R sub-compact utility tractor with 18 PTO horsepower, bundled with installed accessories including a loader, hitch, canopy, and trailer.

Additionally, the order includes three Frontier Components manufactured to support the WRRR initiative. Per GSA contract provisions, the Frontier items were separately built under a miscellaneous federal contract, as these components are not part of the GSA schedule but are allowable for customers procuring them alongside a Deere tractor purchased through GSA contract vehicles. This contract award was not designated as a small business set-aside, consistent with Deere & Company's status as a large, established manufacturer with significant federal contracting experience across multiple civilian and defense agencies.
