The Department of Defense, specifically Ft. Riley's W6QM MICC-FT office, seeks a provider for a Leon 5000 14ft blade to attach to a John Deere 9RT 570 tractor. This equipment will be used for earth moving and excavating operations.

The scope of work involves delivering, installing, and potentially servicing a 6-way blade, preferably new, along with all the necessary mounting hardware. The work must be performed at the Fort Riley base in Kansas.

Interested parties should have experience in construction machinery and be able to demonstrate their ability to deliver and install the specialized equipment.

This opportunity is open to all eligible vendors, with no set-aside criteria specified. The contract will likely be awarded as a firm-fixed-price agreement, and funding is estimated to be around $50,000 to $100,000.

Vendors must submit their proposals by the deadline, including a detailed description of their company's qualifications, the proposed solution, and pricing information. The army encourages small businesses to apply.

The evaluation process will assess the vendor's qualifications, solution viability, and price reasonableness. Award criteria will focus on the best value to the government, and negotiations may occur with the most highly rated vendors.

For any clarifications or questions, vendors can contact Philip Melton at philip.e.melton.civ@army.mil or Ronald Kabat at ronald.l.kabat.civ@army.mil. Phone inquiries can be directed to either 520-944-3832 or 520-944-3059.
