USFS Region 1 Ground Based Weed Spraying 2017-2022

The United States Forest Service (USFS) Region 1 Ground Based Weed Spraying 2017-2022 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is designed to provide ground-based herbicide application and noxious weed management services across multiple national forests in the Northern Region. The contract enables targeted chemical treatment of invasive plant species using various application methods, including spraying from off-highway vehicles, trucks, horses, and backpack systems. Contractors are responsible for both the physical weed spraying services and the supply of herbicides/chemicals required to manage and control noxious weed populations in forest environments.

Task orders under this IDIQ frequently target specific forest districts, fire-impacted areas, roadside corridors, and habitat restoration zones across Montana and Idaho. Most task orders range from approximately $10,000 to $50,000, with completion dates typically set between August and October of the award year. While many task orders are not set aside, several are designated for total small business participation. Common funding sources include the Forest Service, Bonneville Power Administration, and various regional conservation grant programs. Delivery orders have been awarded to multiple contractors, with entities like Western Weed Control appearing as recurring awardees. Performance locations predominantly include national forests such as Flathead, Helena, Lolo, and Custer Gallatin, with treatment areas spanning roadways, trails, fire suppression lines, and ecological restoration project sites.
