About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces, 36th Wing, has issued a Request for Quotes for Ditch Witch trencher attachments under solicitation FA524025QM154. The procurement seeks one lot of 36 Communications Squadron trencher attachments specifically designed for compatibility with a Ditch Witch RT120 trencher system, including a BH120 Backhoe, CT120H Centerline Trencher, and RT120 Low Angle Backfill Blade components. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and include their Unique Entity Identity, CAGE code, and small business status in their submissions. The government will evaluate offers first on technical acceptability against specifications in the salient characteristics document, followed by price and delivery terms, with award made to the technically acceptable offer representing the best value. The current response deadline is August 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM Chamorro Standard Time, following multiple amendments that adjusted part numbers and extended the original August 11 deadline.
This opportunity is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The brand name justification indicates this is effectively a sole source procurement, as only Ditch Witch produces proprietary attachments compatible with the RT120 trencher without modifications that would void warranties or create safety risks. Market research identified potential small business vendors including Earle Kinlaw & Associates, BHPE LLC, and Newbegin Enterprises, Inc. Delivery is required on or before September 30, 2025, to the 36th Communications Squadron in Yigo, Guam. Importantly, funds are not currently available for this contract, and the government's obligation is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds, with no legal liability until funding is confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer.
