Tubular Steel Fence Post Manufacturing and Supply

The contract calls for the fabrication and supply of approximately 1.33 miles of 2 3/8-inch diameter tubular steel fence posts, each requiring specific machining with coping and perforation of 1-inch holes to meet design specifications. The work is structured as a small business set-aside under the SBA program, reserved exclusively for small businesses as defined by the NAICS code 332312, which covers fabricated metal product manufacturing. All posts must be manufactured to exact tolerances and delivered for installation at a designated site in Sheridan, Wyoming, with the zip code 82801 serving as the official place of performance. The opportunity was publicly posted on April 29, 2026, and responses are due by May 11, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, with the contracting entity operating under the Bighorn National Forest, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The nature of the procurement indicates a subcontractual relationship, suggesting the posts are intended as components within a larger fencing system. While no point of contact is listed, interested vendors must ensure full compliance with small business certification and manufacturing requirements to qualify, and delivery timelines must align with the project’s deployment schedule for the fencing infrastructure.
