This specialized equipment will support research on novel year-round cropping systems, with the goal of improving soil sampling capabilities in high clay soils while minimizing soil compaction. The government will evaluate quotations based on price and technical capability, anticipating the award of a firm fixed-price contract.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. No incumbent contractors are mentioned in the solicitation documentation. The equipment package includes the hydraulic drill unit, 54-inch stroke mast, hydraulic rotary tube cleaning brush, adapter pin tool/hammer, vise grip chain wrench, and hand tool kit, though no specific budget range or award value estimates are provided. The contract involves the procurement of a single unit of equipment rather than multiple quantities. Performance will take place at the USDA-ARS North Central Soil Conservation Research Lab in Morris, Minnesota, where the specialized drilling equipment will be delivered and utilized for agricultural research activities.
