HAKALAU FOREST NWR - Honda Pioneer 700 4-seater UT

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is issuing this solicitation for the procurement of a Honda Pioneer 700 4-seater Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) for use at the Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The mission of the FWS is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. This contract aims to provide essential transportation equipment to support the agency's conservation efforts. Work Details The contract requires the delivery of one (1) fully assembled Honda Pioneer 700 4-seater UTV. The vehicle must meet specific operational requirements suitable for use in a wildlife refuge setting. The delivery must occur no later than 15 calendar days after receipt of order (ARO) to the following address: Hakalau Forest NWR, C/O Big Island NWR Complex, 60 Nowelo Street, Suite 100, Hilo, HI 96720-2788. All prices quoted must be FOB Destination. Period of Performance Delivery shall occur no later than 15 calendar days after receipt of order. Place of Performance Hakalau Forest NWR, C/O Big Island NWR Complex, 60 Nowelo Street, Suite 100, Hilo, HI 96720-2788. Bidder Requirements This requirement is set aside 100% for Small Business. Bidders must demonstrate authorized distributor or dealer status for the proposed make and model of the UTV. Quotes must include a completed SF-18 and Bid Schedule. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior FWS contract 140FS125P0061 awarded to Desert Venture Investments for an “HI-FWS BIG ISLAND NWR-UTV 2025 HONDA PIONEER 700-4” in the amount of $18,999 (04/11/25–06/30/25). The current requirement for delivery of one fully assembled Honda Pioneer 700 4-seater UTV to Hakalau Forest NWR (Big Island NWR Complex) is consistent with that prior purchase, suggesting it may be a continuation or replacement of the same type of refuge utility vehicle. A closely related follow-on contract, 140FS126P0018 (Desert Venture Investments, $21,682), further indicates continuity of UTV procurement for the Big Island NWR area.
