About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks 125 fiber-reinforced polymer enclosures (100 orange units, 25 blue units) as exact replacements for damaged units and to support expanding operational needs, with proposals due May 14, 2026 and questions due May 13 at 12:00 PM Mountain Time. This procurement is a total small business set-aside and is being conducted as a competitive RFQ, though a separate Justification and Authorization document indicates the requirement was originally intended as sole source to The Skydyne Company based on unique form, fit, and function specifications.
Place of performance and delivery is Boise, Idaho (NIFC, 3833 S. Development Avenue, Boise, ID 83705). The enclosures must be constructed from fiberglass in thermoset resin with exact dimensions of 20.38" L × 19.38" W × 15.13" H, weighing 18 lbs each, featuring two metal handles and a latching hinged lid. The requirement for identical specifications—including size, material composition, structural strength, mounting configuration, cable ingress/egress layout, and environmental performance characteristics—is driven by the need to maintain compatibility with approximately 500 existing installed units protecting mission-critical communication equipment without requiring modifications to installed equipment or infrastructure.
NAICS code is 326199 (All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees; PSC is 8145 (Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers). The government requests firm-fixed price quotations evaluated on lowest price meeting acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination within 60 days of award. Quotations must remain firm for 60 calendar days from receipt. The solicitation incorporates USDA Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management contract language, Section 508 ICT accessibility requirements, and employment and labor standards provisions.
Notice text
The purpose of this procurement is to acquire 125ea fiber‑reinforced polymer enclosures that serve as exact replacements for approximately 500 existing units currently in use. Several of these enclosures have been damaged beyond repair and require direct replacement to maintain operational continuity and ensure the protection of mission‑critical communication equipment. In addition to replacing damaged units, the new enclosures will also be used to fabricate additional complete units to support expanding operational needs This requirement is being procured on a sole‑source basis because the replacement enclosures must be identical in size, material composition, structural strength, mounting configuration, cable ingress/egress layout, and environmental performance characteristics to the original units. These specifications are unique to the original manufacturer and are not available from alternate sources. Use of any enclosure that differs in form, fit, or function would require modifications to installed equipment, mounting hardware, or infrastructure, which would introduce unnecessary cost, engineering effort, and risk to field operations. Procurement of the exact replacement enclosures ensures compatibility with existing installations and allows damaged units to be replaced without altering designs, procedures, or safety requirements. This approach supports the continued reliability of deployed systems and maintains standardization across all field locations
