Blanket Purchase Agreement W912WJ26AA007

Radice Enterprises, LLC, a minority-owned, woman-owned small business, was awarded a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - New England District effective January 5, 2026, to provide Chemical Vegetation Control Services throughout the Naugatuck River Basin in Connecticut. The contract encompasses service delivery at multiple facilities located in Thomaston, Colebrook, Goshen, Middlebury, Plymouth, and Stamford. The contractor is responsible for furnishing all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and transportation to execute chemical vegetation control services as directed through individual purchase orders issued under the BPA. The contract carries a ceiling value of $250,000 with a 36-month period of performance concluding January 4, 2029, and is structured as a total small business set-aside that restricts competition to qualified small business concerns. Individual purchase orders under the BPA are limited to a maximum value of $25,000 per transaction, with no guaranteed minimum purchase obligation to the contractor.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as the funding federal agency through its New England District, seeks to maintain effective vegetation management across water resource infrastructure and related facilities within the designated river basin. Chemical vegetation control services of this nature typically support the Corps' mission of managing water resources, maintaining navigation channels, and protecting infrastructure integrity through systematic herbicide application and invasive species management. Radice Enterprises' extensive background in specialized facilities maintenance and infrastructure services across federal agencies, combined with its established presence on General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contracts, positioned it to compete successfully for this small business set-aside procurement. The government's financial obligation extends only to actual purchases made through individual calls against the BPA, providing flexibility in resource allocation based on operational requirements and seasonal vegetation control needs.
