About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) related to a federal contract opportunity for the Big Desert Fuel Break Herbicide Application (Solicitation Number: 140L2624Q0025).
The key details are:
- The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region is seeking herbicide application services to treat a designated fuel break area.
- The herbicide application cannot be completed until the mowing contract has been finished by May 15, with some small areas requiring herbicide treatment due to rocks.
- The last herbicide application for the same treatment area was conducted in June 2023 along 50 feet on either side of designated roads.
- The contract is intended to be awarded within three days of the solicitation closing, with some flexibility on the June 10 completion date depending on vegetation growth stage.
- Questions cover topics such as licensing requirements, mapping, timing of mowing vs. herbicide application, and other logistical details.

Question Government response Reference
I noticed the maps for the above named solicitation are not Geo-referenced. Do you have any Geo-referenced maps or shape files you can provide? Provided 2024 USFO Big Desert Fuel Break Herbicide Location Map 2 ; GEO Map was attached to Amendment 0001 5/15/2024.
Do all of the Contracting Crew members have to be fully licensed as professional applicators? Specifically if they are only Loading/Mixing or directly under the supervision of someone that is?
Only the applicators will need to be licensed as professional applicators. Furthermore, the state of Idaho requires all applicators applying restricted use herbicides within the state to be licensed as professional applicators.
Will the mowing contract be completed prior to the herbicide application or will it be post herbicide application?
The mowing contract will be completed by May 15. With that being said, there will be small inclusions within the treatment units that the mowers were unable to treat due to rock. These areas will need to be treated with herbicide and cannot be excluded.
4 If or when was the last herbicide application for the same 2024 treatment area? The last treatment was conducted in June 10, 2023. The application area consisted of 50 feet either side of the designated roads.
5 What date will the bid be awarded or announced? The intent is to have the contract awarded within three days of the solicitation closing.
Is there any flexibility in the completion date of June 10, per the weather conditions to permit spraying?
There may be some flexibility in application but it will be dependent upon the susceptibility of the vegetation. Specifically, the the target species (weeds and shrubs) will need to be actively growing but prior to bud stage and the shrubs will need to have at least two inches of leader growth before application can occur.
