specifications_

This specifications document issued by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife outlines the criteria for a competitive bidding process to procure aquatic piscicide for use in fisheries management. The requisition calls for 220 gallons of liquid rotenone formulation to be delivered in 5-gallon buckets, with preferred delivery in early August 2011, with specific dates to be determined at a later time. The rotenone must assay at least 5 percent active ingredient and must be accompanied by a certificate of analysis certifying product quality and specifications.

Due to Maine state law restrictions prohibiting MDIFW from directly purchasing restricted use pesticides without a distributor license, all rotenone procurement and delivery must be coordinated through MPG Crop Services, a licensed distributor of restricted use pesticides located in Presque Isle, Maine. Interested sellers and manufacturers must contact MPG Crop Services at PO Box 271, Presque Isle, Maine 04769, telephone (207) 764-3131, or facsimile (207) 764-8450 to coordinate the purchase and delivery arrangement.
