The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking collision repair services for a 2018 RAM 3500 Cab & Chassis fire truck at the Fergus Falls Wildlife Management District in Minnesota. The comprehensive repair scope includes front-end and left-side component restoration, specifically replacement and repair of the front bumper, front lamps, fender, front door, and various other components, with all parts required to be OEM or CAPA-certified aftermarket. Contractors must submit a detailed technical approach listing proposed repair parts, a comprehensive price quote detailing parts, labor, and transportation costs, and may request a site visit to assess the fire truck's condition by contacting Phil Millette at 612-360-3999. The government will evaluate offers based on technical approach and price, with non-price factors considered approximately equal to price, awarding to the contractor offering the best value. The original quote deadline was August 29, 2025, at 10 AM Eastern Time, but Amendment 0001 has extended this deadline, with the updated performance period running from September 10 through October 7, 2025.

This opportunity is set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 811111 (General Automotive Repair). No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. While no specific award value is disclosed, contractors must provide comprehensive pricing that includes parts, labor, and potentially transportation costs depending on their facility location. The work will be performed at the awarded contractor's repair facility, with transportation arrangements varying based on distance from the Fergus Falls Wildlife Management District - repairs at facilities within 15 miles will have government-arranged transportation, while contractors located more than 15 miles away will be responsible for transportation costs. The solicitation operates under a firm-fixed-price contract structure, with the vehicle requiring full operational status upon completion of repairs.
