The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region has issued a Special Notice for a sole source purchase of 200 boxes of Dragon Balls intended for prescribed burn operations. This procurement falls under the Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing NAICS category (332994) and is classified under the Miscellaneous Weapons Product Service Code (1095). The notice was posted on September 17, 2025, with a tight turnaround deadline of September 19, 2025. No set-aside designation has been applied to this opportunity, indicating it is open to all eligible contractors. The Forest Service's Southern Region, which covers civilian operations, is the procuring agency for this specialized equipment acquisition.

The primary objective of this procurement is to support the Forest Service's prescribed burn program, which requires specialized equipment for controlled fire management operations. Given the extremely short response window of just two days, contractors must act quickly to respond to this sole source opportunity. The sole source designation indicates that the Forest Service has identified a specific supplier or product that meets their unique requirements for these Dragon Ball units. This procurement appears to be part of the agency's broader wildfire management and forest health initiatives, where prescribed burns are conducted as a proactive measure to reduce wildfire risks and maintain ecosystem health. The classification under ordnance and weapons categories suggests these Dragon Balls are specialized incendiary devices designed for professional fire management applications.
