Install Wolf Abatement Fences, Douglas and Bayfield Counties, WI

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is soliciting quotes for the procurement and installation of two high-tensile woven wire fences designed for wolf abatement purposes. One fence will be located near South Range, Wisconsin in Douglas County, while the second will be installed near Bayfield, Wisconsin in Bayfield County. Interested contractors may submit quotes for one or both locations, providing flexibility in bidding arrangements. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and includes detailed specifications in the statement of work along with aerial views showing dimensions for both fence locations. The quote submission deadline is July 23, 2025, and interested parties are responsible for monitoring the procurement site for any amendments to the solicitation. Questions regarding this procurement should be directed to Jim Roloff, the contracting officer, at james.g.roloff@usda.gov.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside, limiting competition to small businesses that meet the NAICS 238990 size standard of $19 million in average annual receipts. The solicitation includes federal construction wage rate requirements for both Douglas and Bayfield Counties, indicating prevailing wage compliance will be mandatory for the awarded contractor. The work locations are specifically identified as South Range, Wisconsin 54874, with the second location in Bayfield County also in Wisconsin. The government has provided comprehensive documentation including aerial photographs with dimensions for both fence locations, detailed statements of work, and applicable wage determination schedules. No incumbent contractor or previous award values are identified in the solicitation materials, suggesting this may be a new procurement requirement for the agency's wildlife management operations.
