121756 OR SOLICITATION ADDENDUM ONE Q&A.docx

This document is a Solicitation Addendum One Q&A for the State of Nebraska's Department of Administrative Services Materiel Division and State Purchasing Bureau, specifically addressing Solicitation Number 121756 OR for Noxious Weed/Pest Control - Herbicides/Pesticides. The solicitation seeks chemical products for environmental management, with a bid opening date of August 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The contract will have an initial one-year term with options to renew for four additional one-year periods, covering a comprehensive range of chemical products including aquatic and terrestrial herbicides such as glyphosate products like Rodeo and Polaris, specifically targeting plants like cattails, bulrush, and Phragmites that grow in or near water.

The procurement allows for potential resident disabled veteran and enterprise zone business considerations, and is not an exclusive contract, enabling the State to engage multiple vendors. Pricing will remain firm for the first six months, with potential subsequent adjustments requiring 30-day written notice and supporting documentation. The estimated annual usage encompasses over 40 chemical products with quantities ranging from 3 to 650 gallons. Vendors must be prepared to submit Material Safety Data Sheets, maintain consistent discount rates, and provide pricing information with all costs being net, fully prepaid, and delivered F.O.B. to specified Nebraska Game and Parks Commission locations. The State reserves the right to purchase items individually or in groups and will not impose minimum order requirements, using the estimated usage list as a guideline rather than a guaranteed purchase commitment.
