About this file

This document is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College for an Agricultural Sprayer, solicitation RFQ-0000002458. The bid is due on 04/01/2025 at 11:00 AM CT, with electronic submissions to be sent to lsubids@lsu.edu. The procurement is for a specialized agricultural sprayer to be used in entomology research plots, with specific technical requirements including an 80-inch wheel spacing, minimum 110-gallon spray tank, GPS guidance system, hydraulic air compressor, and 13 stainless 3-gallon spray canisters. The bid includes a complete research sprayer package with the primary sprayer unit and a 200-gallon nurse trailer.

The solicitation is structured as an "All or None" award, meaning the contract will be granted to the lowest responsible and responsive supplier for the entire requirement. While no explicit budget range is provided, the equipment's complexity suggests a significant capital investment potentially between $75,000 to $150,000. The warranty terms offer 2 years coverage for the engine and 1 year for other components, with an owner's manual requirement. Addendum 01 includes a supplier inquiry indicating that pre-approval of equivalents is not permitted, and bids must strictly meet the written specifications. Payment terms are set at 30 days after receipt of a properly executed invoice or delivery and acceptance, whichever is later.

Addendum 01

Supplier Inquiry and Response

Q1. We don’t offer anything as small as the MudMaster. Before I start quoting I was reaching out to see if a larger self propelled sprayer would work. Our small sprayer is a Case IH Patriot 2250. It has a 90ft boom system, 660 gal solution tank. 175hp. I was just making sure this machine would be bigger than you need.

A1. We can not pre-approve equivalents. In order to be considered for award, bids must meet the written specifications.
