AI Contract Overview
The contract under solicitation number 140FS326R0005 is for the procurement of an amphibious tracked vehicle to be delivered to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge, Maryland, under the oversight of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s SAT Team 3. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Parts 12 and 13, utilizing the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, meaning awards will be made to the lowest-priced offer that meets basic technical and compliance thresholds without trade-offs between cost and quality. The NAICS code 333120 identifies the industry as Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing, and the contract type is not explicitly stated but is inferred to be a commercial item acquisition based on the application of FAR 12 clauses and the use of the SF 30 amendment form. The primary point of contact is Todd Annes, with Fred Riley serving as the Contracting Officer, and all payment requests must be submitted electronically via the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with WAWF explicitly excluded. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses related to ethics, supply chain security, labor standards, and international trade compliance, including mandatory adherence to the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act with Alternate I applied for prohibitions on covered equipment, restrictions on Kaspersky Lab and ByteDance software, and prohibitions on telecommunications equipment from foreign adversaries. Labor requirements include compliance with Executive Orders on minimum wage and paid sick leave, employment eligibility verification, and anti-human trafficking provisions. Offerors must represent their socioeconomic status, including small business, veteran-owned, HUBZone, and disadvantaged business certifications, and disclose ownership hierarchies and CAGE codes for all parent entities. Technical and past performance submissions are strictly limited to 10 pages each for management approach and key personnel, with past performance capped at 9 pages total including the required survey form. No detailed packaging, marking, or inspection standards are specified, and pricing data, including CLINs and estimated contract value, remains unspecified. Deliveries are due to Blackwater NWR with no stated period of performance, and the solicitation closed on May 18, 2026. The absence of a formal Section J or detailed attachments, along with unpopulated pricing tables, suggests the contract award is pending final offeror submissions and evaluation under the LPTA framework.
