The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is conducting a market research to identify potential suppliers of boardwalk deck lumber that comply with the Buy American Act. The project requires approximately 7500 linear feet of 5/4 x 6" x 6' boardwalk deck lumber with specific specifications, including a modulus of elasticity of not less than 3,129,000 PSI, a bending strength of not less than 25,963 PSI, and a shear strength of not less than 2,048 PSI. The approved hardwoods include IPE/bethabara, cumaru, and macaranduba. Interested parties are requested to provide a detailed cost breakdown of the lumber, including the name of the material, country of origin, cost of the raw product, transportation cost, customs, duties, taxes, cost of finishing, and any other manufacturing costs. • The project requires compliance with the Buy American Act. • The lumber must meet specific specifications, including modulus of elasticity, bending strength, and shear strength. • The approved hardwoods include IPE/bethabara, cumaru, and macaranduba. • A detailed cost breakdown of the lumber is required to verify compliance with the Buy American Act.
