About this opportunity
Fort Hood Range Operations, under the Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum, is procuring a Flex Wing Cutter with highly detailed specifications including 50-160 gearbox horsepower, 540 RPM capability, and a cutting width of 10 feet with an overall width of 15 feet 11.5 inches. The equipment must feature specific technical requirements including hydraulic cylinders for lift and wing folding operations, AR400 skid shoes, heat-treated free-swinging alloy blades, and six laminated tires with spring-cushioned transport axle. Vendors must submit specification sheets and photographs of the exact equipment being offered in their proposals. The solicitation was posted on September 4, 2025, with responses due by September 11, 2025, providing contractors with only seven days to prepare and submit their bids. The procurement falls under NAICS code 333111 for Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 2420 for Tractors, Wheeled.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business contractors. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget ranges for the procurement. The Flex Wing Cutter specifications indicate a substantial piece of equipment with a total weight of 3,730 pounds and tongue weight of 1,240 pounds, suggesting significant procurement value given the specialized nature and technical complexity of the machinery. Performance will occur at Fort Cavazos, Texas, where the equipment will presumably be used for range maintenance operations. The detailed technical specifications, including precise measurements for cutting capacity, blade speeds, and hydraulic system requirements, indicate this is a specialized procurement for military range management activities requiring equipment capable of handling challenging terrain and vegetation management tasks.
