About this opportunity
The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services North Carolina intends to award a sole-source purchase order with Dimension Supply Inc. for binary explosives and accessories, with offers due May 21, 2026. This is not a competitive solicitation, though responsible sources may submit capability statements for government consideration of competitive procurement.
APHIS will remove over 650 beaver dams annually across North Carolina to prevent an estimated $18 million in annual infrastructure damage. The required explosives—Kinepak K12, K1, and K1BB binary components; Dyno Nonel detonators and line; Primacord; and related accessories—are manufactured and distributed exclusively by Dimension Supply under proprietary formulation. Competition is restricted based on unique safety requirements regarding compatibility, stability, shelf life, and specialized performance criteria validated by the USDA Wildlife Services Explosives Sub-Committee. A Request for Information posted on GSA eBuy from March 11–13, 2026, received no responses. Prior market research found no alternative binary explosives meeting required specifications.
The contract consists of a one-year base period (FY 2026) with four one-year option periods through FY 2030 on a firm-fixed-price basis. Award will be made on Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) to the responsible quoter. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination within 30 days to the North Carolina State Office in Raleigh. Quoters must maintain active SAM registration and hold pricing firm for 90 calendar days. Technical proposals must demonstrate ability to meet schedule requirements and explain any unmet items. Questions are due April 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM EDT; contact Paige Francis at paige.francis@usda.gov or (225) 224-0802.
