About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Production and Conservation Business Center, specifically the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) North Carolina State Office, is seeking industry feedback for the purchase and installation of a Knapheide (or equal) closed truck body for vehicle A402884, a 2024 Dodge 3500 Tradesmen crew cab 4x4. This sources sought notice is designed to gather information about potential vendors' capabilities and qualifications for the project. The comprehensive truck body package includes multiple components such as an OEM camera, 7-way trailer plug, ladder rack, receiver hitch, inverter, winch, drawer unit, and locking system. Interested parties are required to submit a capabilities package of no more than 5 pages by February 12, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST to specified USDA email contacts. The evaluation will focus on vendors' company profiles, socio-economic status, Unique Entity ID, credit card policies, and payment terms.
This sources sought notice is not a set-aside contract and does not specify a specific award value or budget range. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336211 for Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing and PSC category 2320 for Trucks and Truck Tractors. No incumbent contractors are mentioned, and the notice explicitly states that this is a preliminary information-gathering exercise with no guarantee of future solicitation or contract award. The government will not reimburse companies for submission costs and emphasizes that all received information becomes government property. Vendors are advised that proprietary information and trade secrets must be clearly marked, and the notice is issued solely for planning and information purposes. The specific truck body will be installed on a single NRCS vehicle, suggesting a limited scope of procurement.
