About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking to procure six 20-yard Connex storage containers for the Chelan Initial Attack fire crew through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The procurement is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price contract with an urgent requirement to replace storage capacity lost due to a building lease termination on June 1, 2025. Qualification requirements include being a small business concern, with offers from non-small businesses being automatically rejected. Evaluation criteria will heavily emphasize delivery schedule, with the government seeking the soonest possible delivery before June 6, 2025. Proposals must be submitted electronically by May 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM PST and must include technical capability, past performance information, and pricing details.
The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing), with a small business size standard of 600 employees. The containers will be delivered to the Twenty-five Mile Fire Camp located at 200 Breezy Heights Road in Chelan, Washington, with specific requirements that the containers be wind and water-tight, have hinged doors, and be capable of being locked with a padlock. While new containers are acceptable, the government has expressed a preference for used containers to reduce costs. The specific geographical coordinates for delivery are 47.987836, -120.269503, and the procurement is part of an urgent operational need to relocate and store firefighting equipment. The contract aims to provide a quick resolution to the Chelan Initial Attack crew's immediate storage challenges.

BACKGROUND:
Chelan Initial Attack is losing their leased building on 6/1/2025. Everything that was in this building for the past 20 years needs to be moved into storage containers until they find a new place for firefighters and equipment; the Chelan and Entiat district buildings don't have room to house any extra equipment and people. The fire crew needs to purchase 6, 20-yard Connex containers to place at 25 Mile Fire Camp in Chelan WA.
The termination of this building lease was not anticipated, therefore there is a quick turnaround for award. The storage containers were needed before 6/1/25. Due to the short timeframe, the award needs to be made as soon as possible so the containers can be delivered as soon as possible. We are aware the 6/1/25 deadline to have these containers on site is likely not possible so we extended it to 6/6/25. We are looking for the soonest possible delivery date. Please include your delivery schedule with your offer. Failure to provide the delivery schedule will be considered a non-responsive offer.
