Notice of Intent to Sole Source: DeDietrich Agitator Repair for SA1500 Reactor.

The USDA Forest Service intends to solely source a repair contract to DeDietrich USA, Inc. for the restoration of asset ID AG0001751188, a SA-1500 glass-lined reactor, due to the company’s unique status as the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive access to proprietary dimensions and reglassing specifications required to return the unit to safe operational standards. This action is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b), which permits noncompetitive procurement when only one vendor has the capability to perform the work, and it is not a request for competitive bids but a notice of intent to proceed with sole-source negotiation. Interested parties may submit a capability statement within five days of the notice’s posting, which the agency will review, though no competition is anticipated. The solicitation number is 1176190, posted on August 10, 2026, with responses due by August 15, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. The work is to be performed at the facility in Madison, Wisconsin, 53726, and the North American Industry Classification System code is 811310 for industrial machinery and equipment repair and maintenance. The contract is managed by the USDA Forest Service’s Csa East 6 office in Atlanta, Georgia, with primary point of contact Jordan Wheelock at michael.wheelock@usda.gov and secondary contact Nicole Scott at 703-605-4655. No set-aside provisions apply, and all information is accessible via the provided SAM.gov link.
