This solicitation, identified as RFQ 127EAU26Q0055, is a combined synopsis and solicitation issued by the Sierra National Forest under the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the procurement of 44 tons of Alfalfa hay in two separate deliveries—22 tons to be delivered on June 19, 2026, and an additional 22 tons on September 18, 2026—for use in feeding the Forest’s pack string of horses and mules. The acquisition is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 311119 with a small business size standard of 650 employees, and it is open to Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Businesses, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. All quotations must include pricing for every line item to be deemed responsive, and offers are due by June 1, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The contract will be awarded on a Firm Fixed Price basis with F.O.B. Destination terms, meaning the contractor assumes all shipping risks and costs until delivery at Auberry, California, 93602. The hay must meet stringent technical specifications: small bales weighing between 100 and 120 pounds, conforming to USDA Standard #2, and suitable for feeding riding and pack animals. Grades Premium, #1, #3, and #4 are expressly prohibited, and the hay must be free of mold, noxious or invasive weeds, inorganic matter, debris, and any non-suitable material—though certification as weed-free is not required. Bales must be uniform in shape, weight, and material throughout each flake and across the entire load. Evaluation of quotations will be based on a best-value approach, prioritizing technical approach and past performance before assessing price fairness and reasonableness. Contractors must comply with a broad set of FAR and AGAR clauses, including security requirements, safeguarding of information systems, payment by electronic funds transfer, fast payment procedures, and anti-discrimination and DEI compliance standards. Offers must also include certifications related to tax matters, child labor, trafficking in persons, Buy American Act compliance, and registration in the System for Award Management. Failure to meet any pass/fail gate, including incomplete pricing or failure to meet technical specifications, will result in non-responsiveness. The contract will be administered by code 7EAU,
