About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service is procuring one unit of vertical tillage equipment through solicitation number 1232SA25Q0951. The requirement specifically calls for a Great Plains Turbo Max 850 vertical tillage equipment or equivalent, featuring an 8'6" tillage width, 20" turbo coulters spaced 7.5" apart, maintenance-free bearings, heavy-duty C-shanks, and LED safety lighting. This Request for Quotation operates under FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures and FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures, requiring quoters to demonstrate technical capability through detailed specifications compliance. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, with technical acceptability assessed on a pass/fail basis before price evaluation of qualifying submissions. Quotes must be submitted electronically by September 24, 2025, with pricing held firm for 60 calendar days, and quoters must maintain active SAM.gov registration with completed representations and certifications.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set Aside under NAICS code 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract requires delivery within 180 days after receipt of order on an FOB Destination basis to the USDA ARS facility located at 1109 Experiment Street, Griffin, GA 30223. A critical delivery requirement specifies that a liftgate truck is mandatory due to the absence of a loading dock at the delivery location. The government reserves the right to reject quotes deemed technically unacceptable or having unreasonable pricing and may choose not to award a contract depending on quote quality and fund availability. No incumbent contractor or specific budget range is identified in the solicitation materials, though the procurement involves acquiring a single unit of specialized agricultural equipment for research operations.
