Gooseneck Stock Trailer

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks initiated a limited solicitation through the Montana Acquisition & Contracting System (MACS) to procure a new gooseneck stock trailer for delivery to their Helena facility. The specific solicitation, identified as FWP-LimtSol-2020-0024, was open from September 24, 2019, to October 9, 2019, seeking a single trailer to be delivered F.O.B. to 930 W. Custer Avenue in Helena. Vendor requirements included completing a contractor information form, providing manufacturers' literature to verify specification compliance, submitting a trailer warranty, and completing a comprehensive cost proposal/specification form. The procurement mandated that the selected vendor unload and set up the trailer ready for operation upon delivery. Evaluation criteria focused on meeting technical specifications, warranty offerings, and competitive pricing, with the solicitation structured as an all-or-none award condition. The commodity code for this procurement was 5120 (Vehicles - Trailers), and payment terms were established as 0% 0, Net 30.

The solicitation did not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract was ultimately awarded to Steer In Trailer Sales for $19,760.00, indicating a competitive selection process. No information was provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or incumbent vendor preferences. The procurement appeared to be a straightforward purchase of equipment without complex integration requirements or technology specifications. The budget range was definitively set at $19,760.00, representing the total contract value for the single gooseneck stock trailer. The document suggests this was a standard procurement for operational equipment needed by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks department, with clear delivery and setup expectations.
