Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital in Madison, WI. The procurement will specifically include specific snow removal equipment including two Snowfire Blast Pusher KAGE SDP-96 units, one Advantedge Addition KAGE AE, two Back Drag Kit KAGE BDK units, and one Poly Edge Kit KAGE KTSBP96. This procurement will be conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12, 13, and 19, utilizing a firm fixed price contract structure.

The solicitation is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses can compete for this contract opportunity. The procurement will be for a total of six specific equipment items across different snow removal categories. The contract is classified under Product Service Code (PSC) 3830 for Truck and Tractor Attachments, indicating specialized snow removal equipment procurement. While specific award value is not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the relatively small quantity of equipment suggests this is likely a moderate-value procurement focused on equipping a specific Veterans Affairs medical facility with specialized snow removal attachments. The tight timeline between the pre-solicitation notice and quote submission deadline (one week) suggests the VA is seeking to expedite this equipment procurement for potential winter season readiness.
