AI Contract Overview
The USDA Forest Service is seeking information from qualified small businesses to support a potential future procurement of Adjustable Sprinkler Head Assemblies (NFES 0998) for use in wildfire and prescribed burn operations through the Rocky Mountain Incident Support Cache in Lakewood, Colorado. These assemblies, which consist of three critical components—a solid brass or bronze adjustable impact sprinkler head with a 1/2” MNPT inlet and removable nozzle, a cast aluminum alloy 45-degree elbow body meeting ASTM B 26 standards, and a reducing brass swivel with 3/4” FHT and 1/2” FNPT fittings—are designed to enhance water handling flexibility and may eventually replace the existing non-adjustable model NFES 0999 within Water Handling Kit 1048. Performance specifications require the assembly to operate at 30 to 50 PSI with a flow rate of 3.0 to 5.5 GPM, achieve a spray radius of 30 to 45 feet, and maintain a spray trajectory of 25 degrees, with all cast components free of defects and metal parts symmetric and concentric to 0.030 inch. The body elbow must withstand a 600 psi hydrostatic proof test without leakage or deformation, and overall construction must reflect the highest industry standards of workmanship. The solicitation, identified as 1202SC26SS2708, is a sources sought notice issued on May 29, 2026, with responses due by June 5, 2026, and is strictly for planning purposes with no funds currently authorized. Vendors must submit a capability statement limited to twenty pages via email to Shannon Meadows, including company name, mailing address, SAM UEID, registration expiration date, size status under NAICS code 332919, and any past government contract experience. The government intends to award any resulting contract as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, requiring all respondents to be certified small businesses. Packaging must conform to exacting standards: units shall be packed 20 per carton in single-wall corrugated fiberboard measuring 10"x8"x6" with a 200 psi bursting strength and 32 lb ECT, arranged in four rows of five with alternating orientation, and the carton bottom must be clearly marked with ratings and limitations to ensure safe transport and handling.
