Fire Rings and Table Bases

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is soliciting quotations for the procurement of fire rings and picnic table bases through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) numbered 1284LM26Q0002. The solicitation seeks 52 fire rings and 50 picnic table bases, with vendors permitted to bid on one or both items. Key requirements include compliance with Forest Service Outdoor Recreation Accessibility Guidelines and specific technical specifications outlined in the attachment documents; fire rings must be 30-34 inches in diameter constructed of 3/16-inch thick steel with high-temperature black enamel finish, while picnic table bases must feature welded metal frames in dark brown powder coat with specified steel tubing dimensions. The evaluation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, considering price, contractor quality control plans, past performance, and technical drawings demonstrating compliance with salient characteristics. Questions regarding the solicitation are due by December 28, 2025 at 1700 MST, and all quotations must be submitted by January 5, 2026 at 1700 MST.

This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside procurement directed at firms with no more than 1,000 employees under NAICS code 331210 (Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel). There is no previous incumbent information available for this requirement. The solicitation calls for delivery of 19 fire rings and 25 picnic table bases to Stevensville, Montana, plus 33 fire rings and 25 picnic table bases to Darby, Montana, with all deliveries required by May 1, 2026. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price agreement, with the government reserving the right to make multiple awards if determined to provide best value. Delivery locations have forklifts available, and Forest Service staff will handle unloading of palletized materials, eliminating the need for government-furnished transportation, equipment, or materials.
