Pamela Phillips Contracting Officer

1. The BioPreferred program. Does this imply an Organic weed and feed program?

A: This does not imply an organic weed and feed program. Fertilizers are a mandatory product that must be in compliance with the BioPreferred Program. You can learn more about BioPreferred fertilizers that comply with the program by following this link. Additionally, you can find products that comply with the program by following this link which will take you to the BioPreferred Product Catalog (currently 523 products that comply).

Concerning weed control, this is NOT a mandatory product that must meet the BioPreferred program requirements. Therefore, you can use any granular (as prescribed in the Statement of Work) weed control product you choose.

2. Does Unit pricing imply cost per application round? Cost annually? Material cost?
