About this file

This document is a Rescission of Award from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department regarding Solicitation 108.24-020-89-D2 for an Agricultural Tractor. The department initially awarded the contract to the 2023 Case IH Farmall 90C hi-lo tractor, but a protest was received from High Plains Equipment stating that this tractor model is still in current production. The department agreed with the protest and is rescinding the initial award and instead awarding the contract to High Plains Equipment of Harvey, ND. The solicitation is not being cancelled, and future Invitation For Bids will include information to help clarify the definition of "current production" to avoid similar issues.

The related state and local contract opportunity involves the procurement of one 73 PTO HP (minimum) current production diesel tractor with front-wheel assist. The contracting jurisdictions are the State of North Dakota and Burleigh County. No additional details are provided regarding pricing, set-asides, funding, or contract term.

STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA

ND GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT

100 N BISMAR-CK EXPRESSWAY

BISMARCK, ND 58501

RESCISSION OF AWARD

September 26, 2024

Solicitation Number and Title: 108.24-020-89-D2, Agricultural Tractor

The ND Game and Fish Department issued a Notice of Intent to Award related to the above referenced solicitation on September 23, 2024.

Notice is hereby given that the contract award has been rescinded as a result of a misevaluation of a specification.

Initially the 2023 Case IH Farmall 90C hi-lo was removed from consideration since it was deemed as not being “current production.” A protest was received by High Plains Equipment of Harvey, ND, commenting that this tractor is still the same make/model that is currently being manufactured, parts and service for the machine are still current, and therefore the tractor should be considered current production. Nowhere in the Invitation For Bid does it state that the tractor must be from a certain year or within a range of years.

I, as well as the State Procurement Office, feel that this is a valid protest and is something we would have to honor. Information will be included in future Invitation For Bids to help clarify this issue.

The solicitation is not being cancelled. Award will instead be made to High Plains Equipment of Harvey, ND.

Please contact the Procurement Office in writing if you have any questions regarding this notice.

Sincerely, Dale Repnow Procurement Officer E-mail: drepnow@nd.gov Telephone: 701-328-6684 TTY Users call: 7-1-1 mailto:drepnow@nd.gov
