About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking to procure a Knapheide KUV Utility Body for a 2024 Dodge Ram 4500 chassis to support the Kootenai National Forest Rappel Crew. The utility body must accommodate sensitive rappel equipment, aerial ignition devices, and Heli Attack gear, requiring specific dimensional and functional specifications including a 109.25" box length, 78" height, and 20" deep compartments. The RFQ (1284LL25Q0007) requires the installation facility to be within 200 miles of Libby, Montana, and quotes are due by February 17, 2025, at 1500 PS. Technical questions should be directed to Aaron Marvin at aaron.marvin@usda.gov, and the work must be completed by March 31, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the solicitation suggests a focus on meeting precise technical requirements and proximity to the performance location.
This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS category 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The government will handle vehicle delivery and pickup, with payment processed through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). The place of performance is Libby, Montana 59923, and the contract involves furnishing and installing a specialized utility body to support critical forestry operational equipment. No specific incumbent contractors are mentioned, and while a precise award value is not specified, the procurement appears focused on a single, specialized utility vehicle modification. The short timeline between solicitation and required completion (approximately six weeks) suggests urgency in acquiring this critical equipment for the Rappel Crew's operational readiness.
