About this award
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 3, awarded a $33,649.20 firm fixed-price purchase order to Scotts Helicopter Services Inc., a small business, on January 20, 2026, for herbicide spraying services at Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge in Erskine, Minnesota. The contract, which is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, requires the contractor to apply a specified tank mix of herbicides (Vastlan, Milestone, and Escort XP) across up to 261 acres to reduce woody vegetation and promote tallgrass prairie habitat restoration. Work must be completed by September 30, 2026, with payment made on a per-acre basis for actual acres treated.
The solicitation, which was originally limited to helicopter aerial application but was amended to include all certified herbicide application vendors, required contractors to maintain a current Minnesota Pesticide Applicator license, carry full insurance, and achieve a 75% kill rate of targeted woody vegetation with 90% spray coverage. Evaluation was based on best value considerations including technical expertise, approach, competitive pricing, and past performance. This procurement supports the Fish and Wildlife Service's habitat restoration mission by converting woody vegetation to native tallgrass prairie ecosystem at the refuge.
