About this opportunity
The USDA Agricultural Research Service has issued a Sources Sought Notice for GreenFeed System Service, currently intending to award this as a sole source contract to C-Lock Inc. The agency is seeking to identify other vendors capable of providing GreenFeed System Service with identical technical specifications to determine if competition is feasible. This notice explicitly states it is not a formal solicitation and does not constitute a Request for Quote, Invitation for Bid, or Request for Proposal. Interested parties must respond by August 15, 2025, providing company information including SAM UEI number, CAGE code, business size designation, and any small business certifications. The agency specifically requests identification of any conditions that may unnecessarily restrict competition and alternatives to address such restrictions.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as a potential sole source award to C-Lock Inc. The contract structure is proposed as a firm fixed price arrangement, though no specific dollar values or budget ranges are disclosed in the notice. The agency emphasizes that responses will not be returned and no payment will be made for information or administrative costs incurred by respondents. The government reserves full discretion in determining whether to proceed with sole source procurement or issue a competitive solicitation based on the responses received. If a competitive solicitation is ultimately released, it will be posted on the government's central procurement portal for public access.
Notice text
This is a Sources Sought Notice ONLY.

This notice does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ)/Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFQ, IFB or RFP in the future. This notice does not commit the USDA to contract for any supply or service.

The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
