About this IDV
Waechter Hay & Grain Inc., doing business as JW Trucking, was awarded a single-award Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract by the USDA Agricultural Research Service Midwest Area, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, with a ceiling value of $39,900. The contract establishes a one-year supply agreement for grass hay in small square bales to support agricultural research operations at the National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa. As a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Emporia, Kansas, Waechter Hay & Grain brings more than two decades of experience supplying forage products to federal agencies. The solicitation, posted December 4, 2024, required vendors to provide hay meeting Grade No. 2 or upper Grade No. 3 specifications with a Relative Feed Value between 70-110 and Crude Protein between 7-14%, sourced from 2024 or 2025 crops and composed of approved grass varieties such as Orchard Grass, Brome, and Timothy. The government awarded the contract using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation methodology and projected a need of approximately 75 tons of hay over the contract period, with the ability to order between 5 and 55 tons per delivery and a maximum contract ceiling of 175 tons.
Under the contract, the initial delivery order, issued January 1, 2025, required supply of 26 tons of grass hay in small square bales meeting specified bale dimensions (32-42 inches) and weight (55-75 pounds) with a firm fixed-price value of $5,225.76 and completion date of December 31, 2025. All hay deliveries are required directly from the contractor's farm to the USDA NADC at 1920 Dayton Avenue, Building 14, in Ames, Iowa, using clean vehicles not previously used for livestock transport, with delivery mandated within five working days of order receipt. The government conducts inspections and forage analysis testing for each delivery to ensure compliance with technical specifications. Waechter Hay & Grain serves as the prime contractor with no identified subcontractors and has maintained a reliable supply relationship with the USDA ARS Midwest Area, previously delivering various hay products and agricultural commodities to support the agency's research and outreach initiatives across the Midwest region.
