- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS) program in Hawaii intends to award a sole source Purchase Order to Bull Creek Welding and Fabrication, Inc. located in Beebe, AR for 2 (each) Game Changer Jr. brand name, trailer mounted, remote controlled, feral hog trapping systems with associated parts and accessories and cargo shipping to Hawaii. This purchase will be conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i). Bull Creek Welding and Fabrication is the manufacturer and the only source for the purchase of these supplies. The feral hog trapping systems will be used in support of the statewide feral hog damage management program. The USDA APHIS WS program in Hawaii requires a trapping system that can be remotely monitored and activated through a smartphone with Verizon cellular service which has the broadest coverage area in the Hawaiian Islands. Any alternative systems must have an electronically activated trap door and the trap itself must be part of a trailer system for greater setup efficiency and ease of use at different locations. Market research indicated that other traps would need to be loaded into a pickup, or placed on a trailer, which requires additional manpower and effort. This system will cut down on the amount of time to plan, load, deliver, and set up. Item Descriptions of the trapping system required: 2 (each) -- Game Changer Jr Trailer with 3500 lb. axle; Hinge panel with spring pin locks for transportation; Front, rear and easy lift hinge panel jack; includes drive-in anchors and pins; all gates and panels are 5'6" tall with 2 x 4 welded wire mesh; Camera and Antenna pole; 2 - 8' Gates with Electronic Latch; 8 - 8" Panels which includes one walk thru gate 2 (each) -- Electronic Package (1 - 12v Marine Battery; Live View Camera System with Output Gate Drop; 150W Solar Panel with Charge Controller; Omni Directional Antenna) 2 (each) - Game Changer Spare Tire The anticipated Purchase Order value is $25,730.00, including marine cargo shipping. This notice is for informational purposes only. No formal solicitation will be issued. Any questions or inquiries or statements of equivalent capabilities must be e-mailed to the Contracting Specialist Michael.J.Chiodi@aphis.usda.gov as the point of contact in this notice by 4:00pm central time on September 13, 2018.
