About this file

This document is a Decision to Restrict Competition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The USDA Range and Livestock Research Facility in Miles City, Montana (Requisition Number 1178447) seeks to engage a contractor to troubleshoot and correct four inoperable gates and eight limit switches on their Feedmill to restore optimal working condition. The suggested contractor is CL Construction LLC, located at 1927 County Road I, Wahoo, NE 68066 (UEI: CFNKB8LM7B47). The contracting activity is USDA, SSB, and the acquisition identification number is 124PSA27Q0018.

Competition has been restricted to a single source based on the justification that CL Construction LLC built the Feedmill in 2019 and possesses proprietary wiring diagrams, construction details, and system configurations necessary to diagnose and repair the equipment issues. No market research was conducted because the original builder is determined to be the sole source capable of accessing these proprietary specifications. The document notes that local electricians have previously attempted repairs without success, further supporting the need for the original builder's specialized knowledge and documentation.
