Manti La Sal 2 Snowmachines

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service has issued a solicitation for the procurement of two Manti La Sal snowmobiles, classified under NAICS code 336999 for All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 2340 for Motorcycles, Motor Scooters, and Bicycles. The solicitation document, numbered 1240LR25Q0058, was posted on September 12, 2025, establishing the formal procurement process for these specialized winter vehicles. The opportunity requires interested vendors to submit their responses by September 17, 2025, providing a narrow five-day window for proposal preparation and submission. The solicitation falls under the federal contracting framework for transportation equipment, suggesting the Forest Service requires these snowmobiles for operational activities in winter conditions. Specific evaluation criteria, contract requirements, and technical specifications would be detailed in the attached solicitation document.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business entities and supporting federal small business contracting goals. The contract will be performed in Cedar City, Utah 84721, indicating the snowmobiles will likely be deployed for Forest Service operations in the surrounding Utah region. The solicitation specifically calls for a quantity of two snowmobiles, suggesting a targeted procurement for immediate operational needs rather than a large-scale fleet acquisition. No information regarding potential incumbent contractors, estimated award values, or budget ranges is provided in the basic solicitation notice. The Utah location and timing of the solicitation align with seasonal winter operations that would require snowmobile equipment for forest management, search and rescue, or other backcountry activities in snowy terrain.
