Grizzly Bear Traps & Trailers

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) has initiated an Invitation for Bid (IFB) soliciting proposals for the procurement of two grizzly bear traps and associated trailers, with the solicitation identified as FWP-IFB-21-0221. The procurement is specifically targeted for Lewis and Clark County and requires vendors to provide detailed specifications for the equipment. The bid encompasses two primary line items: two grizzly bear traps and two corresponding trailers, which must be priced separately and include FOB delivery to 930 Custer Avenue, Helena, MT 59602. Bidders are required to complete a contact information form, attach a warranty for the proposed equipment, and review and accept standard terms and conditions. The bid was released on 6/1/2021, with a closing date of 6/22/2021 at 5:00 PM MDT, giving potential vendors approximately three weeks to prepare and submit their proposals. Vendors must carefully review the technical specifications document and ensure compliance with all listed requirements, including payment terms of 0% 0, Net 30, using US Dollars, and adhering to the commodity code 5402 for Welding Services.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications for grizzly bear traps and trailers. While no incumbent vendors are listed, the bid requires detailed documentation including warranty information and precise equipment specifications. The commodity code and technical requirements suggest that vendors should have experience in specialized equipment manufacturing or supply, particularly in wildlife management equipment. Although a specific budget range is not provided in the available documentation, interested vendors must submit comprehensive pricing for both the traps and trailers as separate line items. The payment structure of Net 30 indicates a standard procurement approach, and vendors should be prepared to meet the delivery requirements and technical specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.
