121756 OR-Attachment A-Estimated Annual Usage.docx

This document is Attachment A - Estimated Annual Usage for a state contract opportunity issued by the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Materiel Division and State Purchasing Bureau (SPB). The solicitation seeks a commodity contract for chemicals used in noxious weed, pest control, and aquatic herbicides, with an extensive list of over 40 different chemical products. The contract will have an initial one-year term with options to renew for four additional one-year periods, with the bid scheduled to open on August 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The estimated annual usage ranges from 3 to 650 gallons across various herbicides, surfactants, and aquatic treatments, targeting multiple Nebraska Game and Parks Commission locations.

The contract includes provisions for resident disabled veterans and businesses in enterprise zones, suggesting potential preference considerations. Pricing will remain firm for the first six months, with subsequent price adjustments requiring 30-day written notice and supporting documentation. The State reserves the right to contract with multiple vendors and will not impose minimum order requirements. Vendors must maintain consistent discount rates, provide Material Safety Data Sheets upon request, and comply with packaging, quality, and product recall requirements. The estimated annual usage list serves as a guideline rather than a guaranteed purchase commitment, with all prices to be net, fully prepaid, and delivered F.O.B. to specified destinations.
