Dixie National Forest- 3 Horse Gooseneck Trailer

The United States Forest Service Procurement & Property Services is seeking to procure one 3 slant horse gooseneck trailer for the Dixie National Forest through solicitation number 1240LP25Q0039. The trailer must meet specific technical requirements including a 16-18 foot length, 6 to 6'8" deck width, 6-7 foot height, and 3,000-4,000 pound curb weight, along with tandem axles featuring 4-wheel electric brakes and additional features such as a front gravel guard, swing rear gate, external spare tire bracket, rubber floor mats, horse tie rings, and a tack room with storage accessories. Offerors must submit both technical and price proposals via email to curtis.r.landreth@usda.gov, with proposals due by July 11, 2025. The government will evaluate offers based on technical capability using a meets/does not meet specifications standard and price considerations, retaining the ability to award to a higher-priced offer if it provides superior overall value. The period of performance extends from July 8 through October 1, 2025, with delivery required no later than October 1, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business entities operating under NAICS code 336212 for Truck Trailer Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documentation. While no specific budget range or award value is disclosed, the procurement involves a single unit quantity of the specialized horse trailer. The trailer must be delivered to 1770 West Kittyhawk Drive in Cedar City, Utah 84721, which serves as the designated place of performance. Payment processing will be handled through the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and the relatively short timeline from award to delivery indicates an urgent operational need for the Forest Service's equestrian program activities.
