USDA ARS intends to procure a Strip Till Plow and plans to solicit quotations directly from at least three manufacturers/suppliers rather than posting a formal solicitation on SAM.gov. The procurement will follow RFO 12.201-1(c)(2) for an acquisition at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The targeted contract award date is September 24, 2026. The contracting officer will evaluate interested vendors as potential responsible sources before direct solicitation, defining a responsible source as a small business primarily manufacturing or selling total aircraft wash systems with satisfactory past performance. This is a pre-solicitation notice only; interested vendors may submit company information, but responding does not guarantee inclusion.
