About this opportunity
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), on behalf of the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), issued a notice of intent to award a firm-fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis to C&B Operations, LLC for one John Deere 1590 No-Till Drill with 20-foot configuration, with a response deadline of September 11, 2026.
FSIS has determined that C&B Operations is the only source reasonably available because alternative brands lack guaranteed compatibility with ARS's existing John Deere tractors and do not provide required features including 7.5-inch spacing narrow gauge wheels, fold-over markers, and electronic population rate control. No other vendors in the local area offer trade-in credit for the existing John Deere 1590 unit.
Although this notice is informational only and does not solicit competitive proposals, any responsible source believing it can meet the requirements may submit a capability statement by September 11, 2026. Responses must include the company name and CAGE code along with a technical description demonstrating how the proposed alternative meets all stated requirements. The Contracting Officer will use submitted responses to determine whether a competitive procurement is necessary.
The procurement is classified under PSC 3710 (Soil Preparation Equipment) and NAICS 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing), and is conducted under FAR 12 authority.
