About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks one IML-RESI PowerDrill PD600 unit with original equipment manufacturer modules and accessories for structural integrity and internal decay assessments on standing hazard trees, with quotes due July 8, 2026. This procurement carries a brand-name restriction to IML-RESI equipment only; FAR 12.102(a) restricts competition strictly to that manufacturer, and offers proposing alternate brands will be deemed non-responsive and excluded from evaluation.
The procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 333991, Power-Driven Handtool Manufacturing. Place of performance is Randle, Washington. The specialized equipment must meet a minimum drilling depth of 23.6 inches to evaluate deep sound rind limits on large-diameter timber, operate as a handheld battery-powered unit optimized for single-operator off-trail transport, and include fully integrated data logging software with physical electronic add-on modules (Feed, Tilt, Scaling, and Memory Enlargement) maintaining exact telemetry calibration. All interested vendors must hold active SAM.gov registration at the time of quote submission to be eligible for award.
The solicitation uses Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR 12.203 with a firm fixed-price structure and single award. Delivery is required within 30 days of purchase order receipt. The period of performance runs from July 15 through September 30, 2026. Evaluation criteria are Technical Capability (brand name conformity), Past Performance (acceptable/unacceptable basis), and Price (fair and reasonable). Offerors must submit pricing for all line items and hold prices firm for 90 calendar days. The contracting officer is Mindy N. Hickman; questions go to 503-668-1601.
Notice text
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, Products and Services Team, on behalf of the Cowlitz Ranger District, has issued this Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of one (1) brand-name IML-RESI PowerDrill PD600 unit and its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) electronic modules and accessories.
This specialized electronic equipment is required to perform structural integrity and internal decay assessments on standing hazard trees within remote field environments.
Required Core Specifications:

Brand-Name Restriction Notice:
In accordance with FAR 12.102(a), competition for this requirement is restricted strictly to the IML-RESI brand name and its authorized, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components. Market research has demonstrated that no other commercially available brand matches the required 23.6-inch physical drilling depth while meeting field weight thresholds.
This is not an open invitation for generic or alternate brand substitutes. Offers proposing alternate manufacturers (such as Rinntech or other non-IML items) will be determined non-responsive and will be excluded from technical evaluation.
