The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) NR24-042 for the procurement of tractor adapters, specifically seeking two units each of three distinct Power Take-Off (PTO) adapters for a CASE 280 Magnum Tractor: Bare Co PTO Adapter B2460, Bare Co PTO Adapter B2459, and PTO Adapter BPF1125 CAT 2 INSERT. The solicitation was released on May 1, 2025, with responses due by May 9, 2025, at 5:00 PM, and requires delivery within 60 days After Receipt of Order (ARO). Bidders must maintain quote validity for a minimum of 60 days after issuance and submit a California seller's permit. The procurement will be awarded on an "All or None" basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all administrative and technical requirements. Evaluation criteria include compliance with administrative documentation, technical specifications, and adherence to state contracting provisions. Bidders must complete various forms, including the Darfur Contracting Act Certification and recycled content documentation.

The solicitation includes specific provisions for small business preferences, offering a 5% preference to California certified small businesses or non-small businesses demonstrating at least 25% California certified small business subcontractor participation. Bidders must complete the Bidder Declaration form (DFW 1082), which requires detailed information about subcontractors, including their certifications, contact information, and specific work assignments. The opportunity is open to businesses with current state certifications, such as Micro Business, Small Business, or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise. Additional requirements include compliance with the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC) and provisions related to Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Executive Order N-6-22 regarding Russian sanctions. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is limited to the specified tractor adapters, suggesting a relatively focused and potentially modest contract value specific to Del Norte County's equipment needs.
