6049 Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Repairs Anaconda JCC

The USDA Forest Service Anaconda Job Corps Center seeks a contractor to repair a 2016 RAM 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab (4x4, 169" wheelbase) that sustained motor vehicle accident damage. The contractor must complete all repairs within 90 calendar days of vehicle receipt and restore the vehicle to consistent, standardized condition, including proper installation of doors, bumpers, grilles, lights, side airbags, and cab components. All labor, parts, and products must meet manufacturer specifications, with the contractor responsible for providing all facilities, labor, supervision, supplies, transportation, and equipment necessary for completion. The contractor must furnish secure storage for the vehicle during non-business hours, subject to pre-award approval, and assume full responsibility for any government property damage occurring during performance. The Government will conduct inspection of completed work through its Contracting Officer Representative, who will identify deficiencies that must be corrected promptly. The contractor must provide a written warranty on equipment installation with a minimum 30-day warranty period for repaired items and assign an on-site technician for warranty repairs. The Pre-Solicitation Notice was posted on February 25, 2026, with a close date of March 6, 2026, for interested parties to submit expressions of interest and capability to Gary Durham at Gary.durham@usda.gov.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, requiring the successful contractor to be registered in SAM.gov. Yates Body Shop has been identified as the only SAM.gov-registered body shop within 100 miles of the Anaconda location, though the Forest Service is accepting expressions of interest from other qualified SAM.gov-registered entities through the March 6 deadline. The Forest Service intends to potentially award a single-source contract under FAR 13.106-1(b) if no other vendors are identified, given the geographic isolation of Anaconda Job Corps Center and the limited availability of qualified repair facilities in the region. The Government will furnish the vehicle and cover transport costs up to 50 miles from the facility; the contractor bears all transportation costs beyond that distance. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in this Pre-Solicitation Notice, which is issued for informational purposes only and does not constitute a binding commitment or solicitation for quotes. This notice falls under NAICS 811111 (General Automotive Repair) and PSC J023 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Ground Effect Vehicles, Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Cycles).
