About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service is seeking to procure a comprehensive disc mower and baler-wrapper set for agricultural research operations in Charlotte, Vermont. The procurement includes three main components: a front-mount disc mower with approximately 11.25 ft working width, a rear-mount hay mower with 62-70 inch working width, and a 4x5 ft variable chamber round baler-wrapper capable of handling bale diameters from 38-64 inches. The equipment must be new or lightly used with 90% life remaining, include at least one year warranty, and feature ISOBUS compatibility with data collection capabilities for bale weight and moisture. The government will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology to select the winning vendor. Vendors must submit quotes electronically by 10:00 a.m. Central Time on September 25, 2025, and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with an active registration.
This solicitation was initially designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees, but Amendment 0001 removed the set-aside designation, making it unrestricted competition. The procurement is for a single unit of the disc mower and baler-wrapper set with delivery required within 90 days after contract award. The equipment will be delivered to NEA Food Systems Research located at 1211 Ethan Allen Highway in Charlotte, Vermont, where it will be used for processing annual, warm- and cool-season grass and legume forages in agronomic plots and bulk fields with hilly and stony terrain. The government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order, and vendors must provide manufacturer authorization letters and complete Buy American Certificates as part of their submission requirements.
