Pesticides, Surfactants, and Herbicides

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Institutional Division, awarded a term contract (No. 20117438) to Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC for the procurement of pesticide and herbicide products. The specific line item in this contract involves the purchase of Weedmaster liquid herbicide, an EPA-registered weed control solution (EPA Reg. No. 34704-869) designed for pastures and non-crop areas. The initial purchase order calls for 5 cases of the herbicide, packaged in 2.5-gallon containers with 2 units per case, at a unit price of $104 per case, resulting in a total contract value of $520.

The contract was executed on July 7, 2020, with a performance period extending through March 31, 2026. The delivery destination is the Wynne Unit Farm Office located in Huntsville, Texas. The purchase order specifies a delivery timeframe of 5 days after receipt of order (ARO), with the initial delivery date set for July 13, 2020. This term contract appears to be a strategic procurement vehicle for the TDCJ Institutional Division to maintain vegetation control across its agricultural and non-crop operational areas through a pre-established contract with a specialized agricultural supply vendor.
