Elko FY25 IRA cattle guard purchase

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada Region is seeking to procure 13 sets of cattle guard equipment for its Elko District Office, including 14-foot by 8-foot H-20 loading cattle guard grids, concrete bases, and A-shape wings. The solicitation (140L3925Q0012) requires vendors to provide yellow-coated steel grid structures with specific technical specifications, including hot-rolled structural steel construction and precise dimensional requirements. The procurement will be evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with contractors required to submit electronic quotes demonstrating compliance with detailed technical specifications. Quotes were originally due by January 8, 2025, at 1700 Eastern Standard Time, with delivery expected within 45 days after receipt of order. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation confirming that proposed items meet the minimum technical requirements outlined in the solicitation.

The contract is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 332312 for Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing, with a size standard of 500 employees. Delivery will be F.O.B. destination to 3900 Idaho Street, Elko, Nevada 89801-4692, with a forklift and operator available for unloading. Notably, Amendment 0002 issued on January 31, 2025, actually cancels the original solicitation, which introduces uncertainty about the final procurement status. The technical specifications require precise manufacturing standards, including federal safety yellow coating (with a polyester powder coat in honey yellow also approved) and concrete foundations meeting specific strength and reinforcement requirements. While no specific contract value was explicitly stated, the requirement for 13 complete cattle guard sets suggests a significant procurement investment for the BLM's infrastructure improvement project.
