Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP) issued a Limited Solicitation for water supply services at the Dillon Watercraft Inspection Station, located in the Red Rocks I-15 Northbound Rest Area in Dillon, Montana. The procurement specifically seeks a water delivery service to a cistern, with a single line item requesting 1 gallon of water to be delivered according to precise requirements. The solicitation was opened on February 4, 2019, at 4:30 PM MDT and closed on February 14, 2019, at 2:00 PM MDT, with potential vendors required to meet several prerequisites. Vendor qualifications included acknowledging insurance requirements, accepting standard terms and conditions, and agreeing to specific delivery parameters. The procurement is categorized under Water - Services (Code 5307), with payment terms set at 0% with a Net 30 arrangement.

The solicitation documents do not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract was ultimately awarded to Blacktail Fire Service Inc., which suggests local vendors were eligible to compete. No specific budget range or award value was detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be a straightforward service contract for water delivery to a specific government facility, with standard procurement protocols. The scope is limited to a single water delivery service for the Dillon Watercraft Inspection Station, indicating a relatively narrow and specialized procurement opportunity. No information was provided about disadvantaged enterprise provisions or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The procurement seems focused on securing a reliable water supply for a specific government operational need in Big Horn County, Montana.
