Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior irrigation drip tape procurement under award 15UC0C23D00002547 (idv), awarded to Mono Machines for $96,115 during 10/04/23–10/03/24. The prior work description (“IRRIGATION DRIP TAPE FOR USE ON THE FARM”) aligns with the current RFI’s request for drip tape with specific emitter spacing and roll quantities, suggesting the new requirement may be a continuation or replenishment of similar farm irrigation materials.
