The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region seeks quotations for bear-resistant trash cans for Wayne National Forest, with proposals due August 24 at 5:00 PM Eastern and questions due August 17 at 5:00 PM Eastern. The procurement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside.

All units must feature zinc-rich corrosion-resistant primer beneath powder-coated finish. Delivery is F.O.B. destination; the Government accepts the earliest available delivery schedule rather than enforcing the October 1, 2026 deadline.

Quotations must include shipping/freight as a separate line item and pricing for all individual line items to be considered responsive. The NAICS code is 332439, Other Metal Container Manufacturing; PSC is 4540, Waste Disposal Equipment.

Evaluation uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable criteria, with technical approach weighing ability to meet schedule requirements and demonstrate specification compliance, followed by past performance (rated Acceptable, Neutral, or Unacceptable). Offerors must acknowledge Amendment 0002 (issued August 4) and Amendment 0003 (issued August 20, both providing updated question-and-answer documents) prior to submission.
