Side by Side Needed for State Authority

The state of Virginia, specifically through the Maneuver Training Center at Fort Pickett, has issued a state and local contract opportunity for the procurement of stone materials and potential equipment. The primary procurement involves providing and tailgate spreading approximately 7,238 tons of Select 33 Stone and 5,400 tons of #25 Stone to be delivered to the Equipment Storage Lot near 8th & Warehouse Streets at the Maneuver Training Center. The contract opportunity was posted on November 30, 2023, with a proposal due date of December 11, 2023. The point of contact for further information is Travis Parson, who can be reached at 434-292-2612 or via fax at 434-292-2966. Additionally, a separate but related solicitation exists for a Side by Side utility vehicle, which requires a 2-seater vehicle with specific technical specifications including a front and back windshield, roof, utility bed, heater, and optional canvas or hard doors. The vehicle must have a minimum 800cc engine and be 4x4 capable.

The solicitation documents do not explicitly detail any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or specific restrictions on responding organizations. Notably, one attached document indicates that the contract was not awarded to any vendor on the EVA (electronic procurement) platform due to pricing considerations and was instead awarded to a vendor outside the platform. No specific award value or comprehensive budget range is provided in the available documentation. The jurisdiction associated with this procurement is Claypool Hill CDP in Virginia, with a corresponding FIPS Code of 5118517120. The procurement appears to be focused on supporting equipment and material needs for the Maneuver Training Center, with a pragmatic approach to vendor selection that prioritizes pricing and meeting technical specifications over complex procurement protocols.
