About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) Midwest Area awarded a tractor lease contract to Ritchie Implement, Inc., a small agricultural equipment supplier based in Cobb, Wisconsin, on March 10, 2026. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, has a ceiling value of $465.3K and extends through March 9, 2031, comprising a one-year base period with four optional one-year renewal periods. The procurement calls for the lease of three new agricultural tractors—two Case IH Magnum 405 AFS Connect units (340+ horsepower) and one Case IH Magnum 295 AFS Connect unit (295+ horsepower)—to support research operations at the USDA-ARS Dairy Forage Research Farm in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin.
The leased tractors must be equipped with critical specifications including 4-wheel drive configuration with dual tires, power shift transmissions, open APIs for ISO controller data transfer, CAB4 heavy-duty drawbars, suspended front axles, and high-capacity hydraulic systems capable of hauling Jamesway triaxle manure tankers and interfacing with fertilizer applicators and pesticide sprayers. The lease agreement includes annual service with 48-hour response times, full warranty coverage, replacement with new machines at the beginning of each option year, and all operating costs except GPS accuracy subscriptions, with usage limited to 600 hours per year per tractor. Ritchie Implement has established a strong track record with USDA-ARS Midwest Area, having received approximately $2 million in federal contract awards between 2020 and 2025 for agricultural equipment supply, primarily supporting the Prairie du Sac research station's crop planting, soil management, and cattle feed preparation operations.
