About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha is seeking aerial vegetation control spraying services for Missouri River sandbars across North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. The contractor must provide a licensed helicopter pilot and herbicide applicator to spray approximately 1,875 acres using aquatic-labeled herbicides, specifically a mix of glyphosate and imazapyr herbicides at application rates of 7 and 6 pints per acre respectively, with a total application rate of 5 gallons per acre including required surfactants. The contractor will be responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, supplies, and supervision necessary to conduct the helicopter-based vegetation spraying operations. The solicitation was issued on June 27, 2025, with offers due by July 22, 2025 at 2:00 PM, and the contract includes requirements for detailed GPS tracking, daily Pesticide Application Records, and compliance with all environmental and pesticide regulations. The work is structured as a firm fixed price contract with pricing determined on a per-acre basis.
This procurement is set aside as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) opportunity with a NAICS code of 115112 and a size standard of $10,000,000, though the solicitation notice indicates it as a Total Small Business set-aside. Dakota Helicopter Air Services was identified as the previous contractor under contract W9128F24P0090, with a total contract value of $314,880.00, making this a recompete of an existing contract. The performance period extends from August 19, 2025 through November 19, 2025, with preferred spraying dates in late August through early October depending on the specific state locations. The work will cover multiple Missouri River segments including Lake Oahe, Garrison river segment, Fort Randall river segment, Lewis & Clark Lake, and Gavins Point river segment, with the place of performance centered in Omaha, Nebraska. Contractors must submit invoices for reimbursement on a per-acre basis and maintain compliance with Service Contract Act wage determinations that expire between May and June 2025.
