About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Norfolk District has issued a Special Notice regarding the consolidation of contract requirements for Craney Island Mosquito and Herbicide Treatment Services located in Portsmouth, Virginia. This procurement combines two previously separate aerial treatment services—mosquito control and herbicide application—into a single contract opportunity. The Norfolk District determined that consolidating these requirements is necessary and justified based on operational efficiency and cost savings. The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete. The Special Notice was posted on March 4, 2026, and represents a significant federal contracting opportunity in the pest control and natural resources management sector.
The primary objective of this consolidation is to streamline service delivery for the Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area while reducing administrative costs by approximately $50,000 and improving coordination between treatment activities. The consolidated contract encompasses aerial application of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bti) and Naled for mosquito control across up to 18,400 acres annually, as well as a single annual herbicide application covering 250 to 750 acres during a specified seasonal window. The total estimated contract value is $17.5 million over a base year plus four option years under NAICS code 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services). Interested small business contractors must submit their proposals by March 11, 2026, with award anticipated through Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13. Eligible contractors should have demonstrated experience with aerial pest control operations and herbicide application services, as the contract requires time-sensitive performance capabilities and technical expertise in aerial treatment methodologies.
