About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is announcing a sole-source procurement for irrigation line installation at Moore Air Base in Edinburg, Texas, with responses due by August 20, 2026. The acquisition is set aside for small business.
The justification authorizes procurement from Irrigation Mart, a Rio Grande Valley-based company, without competitive bidding. The scope includes a diesel-powered pump station, mainline conveyance, zone control infrastructure, filtration, fertigation components, and drip irrigation equipment for approximately four acres of citrus plantings, with system capacity to support future expansion to 20 acres. The estimated contract value is approximately $118,000 and falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
The sole-source determination establishes that Irrigation Mart is the only local company with commercial citrus grove irrigation installation experience and specialized knowledge of the Rio Grande Valley's unique water regulation infrastructure and installation restrictions. The company has conducted two site visits, completed a full site assessment, and prepared draft plans. Prior market research through an earlier contracting attempt yielded excessive quotes from companies lacking citrus irrigation expertise and relying on subcontractors. Industry recommendations and local university extension experts confirmed Irrigation Mart as the sole qualified provider in the region, with existing experience installing older irrigation systems on base.
