About this opportunity

The Indiana Air National Guard 122nd Fighter Wing is seeking to procure a 24-foot FOD Multi-Hitch Magnet Trailer for use in its operations. The solicitation, issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ), requires a tow-behind magnet trailer with specific capabilities including a pintle hook/ball hitch attachment, ability to operate at 10-15 MPH on smooth surfaces, and ease of cleaning metal debris. The government will evaluate quotes using a best value approach, considering price, technical capability, delivery, and past performance factors, with non-price factors being roughly equivalent in weight to pricing. Quotes are due by January 13, 2025, with all questions to be submitted in writing to the contracting officers via email by January 12, 2025. The solicitation emphasizes that no contract will be awarded until appropriated funds become available, and the government reserves the right to reject any or all offers.

The contract opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 333120, with a business size standard of 1,250 employees. The trailer will be delivered to the Indiana Air National Guard located at 3005 W Ferguson Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46804, with a required delivery date of February 7, 2025. While no specific award value is mentioned, the solicitation references the Piranha 120 Magnetic Sweeper as a brand name or equal benchmark for potential offerors. The procurement is categorized under the Product Service Code 3825 for road clearing, cleaning, and marking equipment. Vendors are instructed to submit comprehensive quotes that clearly demonstrate their product's specifications and capabilities, with the understanding that the government intends to make an award without further discussions, meaning the initial submission should represent the offeror's best possible terms.
