Swine Trailer and Chutes

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) intends to procure Swine Pen and Chutes in the event of an African Swine Fever outbreak. The requested items will provide safe handling of swine during an emergency or disease event, and must be compatible with the existing chutes and panels from the National Veterinary Stockpile. The solicitation will require brand name or equal products to ensure compatibility. This purchase request includes multiple panels of different sizes and working restraint chutes that can be carried to a producer premises and constructed to keep USDA employees safe and handle producer-owned livestock safely and humanely.

This opportunity is set aside for total small business. The NAICS code is likely 332999 - All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, and the PSC code could be 1520 - Vehicular Trailer, Semi-Trailer, and Other Trailer. There is no indication of incumbent contractors or award values, but the procurement objective is to acquire the necessary equipment to respond to a potential large-scale African Swine Fever outbreak.
