3D-Quik Hand Sprayer frames

The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service seeks 3D-Quik Hand Sprayer frames (Solicitation Number 1232SA26Q1133), with quotations due September 18, 2026. The procurement is issued as a Request for Quotation for commercial items under FAR Part 12, but the government intends a single-source award to Great Plains Marketing LLC/3D Cattle Equipment, LLC based on a determination that the contractor is uniquely qualified to fabricate frames compatible with previously purchased hardware and is the only producer of this motion-activated sprayer type.

Place of performance is Urbana, Illinois. The requirement specifies six sprayer frames for deployment at four sites in support of a cattle fever tick eradication project targeting wildlife vectors. Each frame must accommodate a 15-gallon tank, operate on a 12-volt battery system with solar charging, include motion-activated spraying with a five-second automatic shut-off, directional sensing to spray in one direction only, and a counter to track animal exits. The frames include two expandable gates for up to 16-foot openings, three nozzles per sprayer, and adapt to a 2-inch trailer ball for portability. Delivery is required within 60 days of contract award to 1101 W Peabody Drive, Urbana, Illinois 61801.

Evaluation uses a lowest-price technically acceptable approach. Technical acceptability requires quoted products to meet or exceed all salient characteristics of the specified brand name product, include brand name, make, and model number, provide sufficient descriptive literature demonstrating compliance, and be available for timely delivery. Past performance is rated acceptable, neutral, or unacceptable. Quotations must remain firm for 90 calendar days from receipt.
