TPP trench plates

The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking to procure 24 steel road plates through a small business set-aside solicitation (140R1725Q0037). The trench plates must be solid steel construction, 1 inch thick, measuring 5 ft wide by 10 ft long, and constructed of grade A36 steel or better. Potential vendors must submit their quotes by March 21, 2025, with a planned delivery date of April 4, 2025, to the Grand Coulee - Receiving location in Washington. The solicitation incorporates multiple Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses and requires electronic invoicing and small business representation. Key evaluation criteria will likely include compliance with technical specifications, pricing, and ability to meet delivery timelines.

This contract is designated as a 100% small business set-aside with a size standard of 1,500 employees for the NAICS category of Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (NAICS 331110). The procurement is specifically for steel road plates categorized under Product Service Code 9515 for Plate, Sheet, Strip, Foil, and Leaf. An amendment to the original solicitation clarified that vendors should quote plain road plates without holes or lifting devices, which are preferred by the Bureau of Reclamation. While specific award value is not detailed, the contract appears to be a direct procurement for a specific quantity of road plates for use at the Grand Coulee facility. Vendors must carefully review all solicitation documents and acknowledge any amendments to ensure their offer meets all requirements.
