About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) Midwest Area awarded a purchase order to Gary W Clem Inc., doing business as Almaco, on August 27, 2026, for removal and installation of a corn research plot combine weigh system, with a ceiling value of $110,286.27. The award is set-aside for total small business under NAICS 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing).
Work is performed in Ames, Iowa. The requirement encompasses removal of the existing ALMACO weigh system and installation of an H2 GrainGage system or equivalent, compatible with a New Holland TR88 research plot combine. The new single-chamber system measures moisture and test weight using one set of sensors, eliminating inconsistencies from the current dual-sensor configuration. Contractor work includes removal of existing components, design and installation of mounting structures, new cyclones for debris separation, and positioning of transfer augers, in-cab tablet mounts, and power boxes. The system must accommodate twin-plot combines and integrate with the existing Mirus data collection system. Ultimate completion is February 28, 2027, under firm fixed-price terms.
