Eastern idaho biocontrol support

The Bureau of Land Management Idaho State Office is soliciting quotes for Eastern Idaho Biocontrol Support services through a Request for Quote exclusively set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 541990 with annual receipts not exceeding $19.5 million. The procurement involves biological control monitoring and collection services to treat noxious and invasive weed species on BLM rangelands in eastern Idaho using approved biological control agents. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability in identifying and treating weed infestations ranging from 0.1 to 100 acres in vehicle-accessible terrain, provide relevant experience, and submit detailed work plans with pricing for hourly monitoring and collection services. The solicitation establishes a Blanket Purchase Agreement structure that will be awarded to one or more qualified contractors capable of performing biological control monitoring, collection, and transportation services. Quotes are due August 7, 2025, with the contract period spanning from August 18, 2025, to August 17, 2030.

This opportunity is designated as a small business set-aside with no other set-aside classifications applied, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract structure includes a base one-year period followed by four additional one-year option periods, creating a potential five-year engagement for biological control services. Performance will occur across multiple counties in eastern Idaho, including Bannock, Bingham, Bonneville, Butte, Jefferson, and other counties covered by the various wage determinations provided in the solicitation package. The accompanying wage determination documents establish prevailing wage rates for service contract workers across these Idaho counties, with minimum wages ranging from $13.30 to $17.75 per hour depending on contract award dates, plus standard benefits including health and welfare payments, vacation, and paid holidays. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documents, the multi-year structure and geographic scope suggest a substantial opportunity for qualified environmental services contractors.
