Coronado National Forest Range Program Fence Materials Purchase

The USDA Forest Service is soliciting quotations under Request for Quotation 12444326Q0080 for range program fence materials for four Arizona ranger districts, with quotations due November 23, 2026. The acquisition is a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 332618 (500-employee size standard), and offerors must confirm small business registration under that code in their SAM vendor profile. The notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items under FAR Part 12. Amendment 0002, effective November 5, 2026, reposts the solicitation to SAM.gov and states no extension of the receipt date.

Deliveries go to the Santa Catalina Ranger District (Tucson), Safford Ranger District (Safford), Sierra Vista Ranger District (Hereford), and Nogales Ranger District (Nogales), with the listed place of performance at Tucson, AZ 85750. Vendors must call at least 48 hours before delivery to confirm receipt availability. The period of performance runs November 9, 2026 through December 9, 2026. The SF 1449 summary states 30-day delivery after award, while the Statement of Work states four weeks from issuance.

All materials must be ASTM certified: T-posts (T-133, 5.5 feet, 4 clips per post), 12.5-gauge Class 1 smooth wire and barbed wire (1,320 feet per roll, barbed at 2-point with 4-inch spacing), 42-inch 9.5-gauge Class 1 wire stays (100 per bundle), 2.5-by-2.5-by-1/4-by-7-foot brace angle iron posts, 2-by-2-by-1/4-by-7-foot angle iron braces, and 1/2-by-1.5-inch nuts and bolts. Santa Catalina and Safford each require 710 T-posts, 8 smooth wire, 24 barbed wire, 80 braces, 40 brace posts, 80 nut-and-bolt sets, and 24 wire stay bundles. Sierra Vista and Nogales each require 1,050 T-posts, 12 smooth wire, 36 barbed wire, 120 braces, 60 brace posts, 120 nut-and-bolt sets, and 36 wire stay bundles. Each district carries a lump-sum delivery line item. Unit and total prices are blank for vendors to complete, and the notice states no budget or ceiling.

The Q&A document states that a forklift is not guaranteed at each district, that contractors may use their own forklift to unload palletized materials, and that liftgate or hand-unload delivery is not required. It also confirms the Schedule of Items governs the delivery addresses over the SF 1449 addresses.

Evaluation criteria appear in Attachment 1 (Solicitation Terms and Conditions), and the notice does not state their weighting. Contact points are the four district representatives listed in the Schedule of Items, and the contracting officer is David R. Mitchell at the Atlanta issuing office.
