Game Damage Materials - Region 3 Bozeman

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) is conducting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for game damage materials specifically for Region 3 in Bozeman, soliciting vendors to supply stack yard materials for wildlife damage mitigation. The procurement involves six specific product line items, including a comprehensive Stack Yard Bundle containing 19-6"x12" wood posts, 3-78"x330" rolls of woven wire, 2-1320' rolls of barbed wire, 8-4"x8' wood brace posts, and 55-10' steel posts, as well as individual component options for wood posts, brace posts, steel posts, woven wire, and barbed wire. The solicitation is being processed through the Montana Acquisition & Conducting System (MACS) under bid number FWP-IFB-2018-0032N, with a bid opening date of March 5, 2018, at 12:00 PM MDT and a closing date of March 15, 2018, at 2:00 PM MDT. Vendors must carefully review and accept multiple prerequisites, including standard terms and conditions, special IFB terms, and the As Needed Award Document. The procurement is categorized under commodity codes including animal fencing materials (1701), game damage services (3206), and livestock supplies (3211), with Nicole Orta serving as the primary contact point at NiOrta@mt.gov or +1 406-444-7210.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, the solicitation appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications for game damage materials. The procurement seems focused on securing reliable suppliers of fencing and wildlife management materials rather than implementing strict enterprise restrictions. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate capability in providing high-quality, standardized stack yard materials that meet FWP's precise requirements. Although a specific budget range is not detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the Stack Yard Bundle suggests a moderate procurement value. Interested vendors must be prepared to comply with all technical specifications, submit required documentation through the MACS system, and meet the specified submission deadlines. The commodity codes and detailed material requirements indicate this is a specialized procurement targeting vendors with experience in agricultural and wildlife management infrastructure materials.
