Quick-attach rotating log grapple (dangle grapple)

The Ohio DNR-Division of Forestry IDV (Agency Administered CTR032368) is a specialized procurement vehicle focused on equipment acquisition, specifically for forestry and land management applications. The contract primarily covers the procurement of specialized equipment, with a current emphasis on skid-steer mounted log grapples meeting precise technical specifications. The UNSPSC code 22101709 for Grapples indicates the narrow but critical focus of this IDV, which enables the state's forestry division to acquire specialized heavy equipment with specific performance requirements, such as 60" grapple opening, 360-degree rotation, and compatibility with specific skid loader models.

The IDV is awarded to Ryan's Equipment Inc. and is administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Forestry. The contract has a defined performance period from the award date of July 24, 2025, to September 30, 2025, with a state-wide geographic coverage limited to Ohio. While specific total contract value is not disclosed, the government files suggest a structured procurement process that includes considerations for Buy American, Buy Ohio, and Veteran-Friendly Business criteria. The contract operates under standard Ohio state procurement terms, which include provisions for contract renewal, net 30-day payment terms, and compliance with executive diversity and regulatory requirements.
