About this forecast
The Department of Agriculture seeks to procure a new soybean research plot combine for use at its facility in Stoneville, MS. The combine must replace the current equipment, which is over 15 years old and no longer supported by the manufacturer, with particular emphasis on restoring electronic weight bucket functionality that is essential for seed measurement and plot analysis. The solicitation is expected to be released on September 25, 2026, with an estimated award date of June 30, 2026, under full and open competition with no set-asides.
The estimated award value ranges from $500,000 to $999,000, with a basic exercised value of $950,000 for this purchase order. The successful contractor should provide a combine with movable wheel tracks that allows flexibility for changing row spacing to accommodate different research tests, as the equipment will serve two programs and potentially other users at the facility. Interested parties should contact Nicole McKenzie, Contracting Officer at the United States Department of Agriculture, at nicole.mckenzie@usda.gov for additional information regarding this Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing requirement.
Forecast text
A new combine is required because current combine is over 15 years old and no longer supported by the manufacturer. The electronic weight bucket is non-functional and cannot be repaired. The other combine in our unit is even older and does not have a weight bucket. This means that seed of each plot is bagged and trucked to the building to be weighted whichlimits our productivity. The company Zurn has the right type of combine with wheel tracks that can be moved allowing flexibility to change row spacing for different tests. Combine will be used by two programs and can be used by others.
