Moxee Farm utility tractor

The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service seeks quotations for a utility tractor to be delivered to its Moxee Farm in Moxee, Washington, with quotations due September 21. The procurement is set-aside exclusively for small business concerns, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees.

This is a combined synopsis and Request for Quotation issued under FAR Part 12 procedures for commercial items; no separate written solicitation will be issued. Place of performance is Moxee, Washington. The NAICS code is 333111, Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing, and the PSC code is 2420, Tractors, Wheeled.

The Statement of Work specifies procurement of an open operator station tractor with a minimum 50-horsepower engine and shuttle-type transmission with 540 RPM rear PTO. The tractor must feature a loader-ready configuration with factory-installed mounting provisions and hydraulic connections, front-wheel assist or four-wheel drive capability, dual mid-mounted selective control valves for front-mounted implements, and dual rear selective control valves with independent hydraulic circuits and single-point hydraulic connection or quick-coupler compatibility. Three models are identified as expected to meet specifications: New Holland WM50, John Deere 4066R, and Massey Ferguson 2850E. The tractor will replace an aging 2004 Massey Ferguson 431 at the facility, which the USDA will offer as a trade-in; contractors are encouraged to submit optional trade-in pricing. Quotations must include complete company information, SAM registration status and UEI, socio-economic designations, quote details with total price and delivery timeframe, country of manufacture information, and authorized signature certification.
