About this file
This is a Notice of Cancellation issued by the St. Johns River Water Management District (District), a Florida state agency, regarding Invitation for Bids (IFB) 42270 for aerial herbicide application services using helicopters. On August 28, 2026, the District determined that cancellation was in its best interest and cancelled the solicitation with no intention of reissuing it. The original solicitation sought qualified contractors to provide aerial herbicide application services for invasive vegetation management across the District's 18-county service area in Florida. The contractor was required to provide all helicopters, pilots, equipment, labor, and operational support for aerial and spot spraying of aquatic, emergent, and upland vegetation on District-managed lands and waters, with mobilization required within 14 calendar days of Notice to Proceed. The original contract was scheduled to run from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029, with two optional one-year renewals at the District's sole discretion.
The cancellation eliminates all previous bidding requirements, timelines, and contract terms associated with IFB 42270. Pricing was to have been submitted as firm unit costs for three service categories: aerial spraying (estimated 15,000 acres per year), spot spraying (estimated 15 hours per year), and observation flights (estimated 12 hours per year), with rates remaining firm for the initial three-year term except for fuel adjustments. No guaranteed minimum or maximum volume applied, and the award was to have gone to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Respondents adversely affected by this cancellation decision may file a Notice of Protest with the District Clerk within 72 hours of posting, followed by a Formal Written Protest within ten days, along with a bond equal to one percent of the District's estimated contract amount. Breanna Pierce, Procurement Specialist in the Office of Procurement, serves as the point of contact for questions regarding this cancellation.
