Yes.

Unsure if we will have access to the previous database upon a new award.
17. Pesticides and herbicides would also be included in the inventory correct?
Yes

19. Does staff need to be able to document usage of pesticides, herbicides and track quantities of usage? Asking as we can provide that capability if it is a desired requirement.
We have not done this in the past and do not think there is a need to track the usage at this point.
20. Can you provide the contract number or solicitation number for the existing contract awarded to MSDS online?
