The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking to procure a V-Plow attachment for a front-end loader at the Seney National Wildlife Refuge in Michigan. The solicitation (140FS225Q0091) specifically requires a V-Plow compatible with a 2005 John Deere 444J loader, with precise technical specifications including a maximum cutting edge width of 9'8", total width of 10'8", and a minimum height of 6'. The plow must be constructed with 10 GA minimum thickness material, feature a JRB 416 quick attach, and be colored John Deere Construction Yellow. Vendors must submit their quotations by April 8, 2025 at 1:40 PM MD, with a primary point of contact being Lydia Patrick, and alternate contacts Clint DeMenge and Patrick McCoy. The evaluation will likely focus on technical compliance, warranty terms, pricing, and the ability to meet the detailed equipment specifications outlined in the solicitation.

The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for this procurement. The quantity requested is one (1) V-Plow unit, with a required delivery date of July 31, 2025. The period of performance is from April 14, 2025 to July 31, 2025, covering the late spring and early summer months. The place of performance is the Seney National Wildlife Refuge, located at 1986 River Rd, Germfask, Michigan 49836. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the procurement is categorized under NAICS code 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC code 3830 (Truck and Tractor Attachments), which suggests a specialized equipment procurement with potential budget constraints typical of federal facility management equipment acquisitions.
