Lawn and landscape chemicals

The Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, is procuring various lawn and landscape chemicals including herbicides, insecticides, emulsifiers, and surfactants through Solicitation Number 140R1725Q0057. The procurement encompasses 11 line items of specific chemical products such as Escort XP Herbicide, Telar XP Herbicide, Roundup Pro Herbicide, Milestone VM Plus Herbicide, Esplanade 200SC Herbicide, Tempo SC Ultra Insecticide, Tordon 22K Herbicide, Weeder 64 Herbicide, Krovar IVM Herbicide, and Dicamba HD Herbicide, with quantities ranging from 5 to 100 gallons or 420 to 1,392 ounces depending on the specific product. Contractors must hold valid Washington State pesticide dealer licensing per AGR Publication No. 706-479 and RCW 15.58.180, provide current licensing documentation with their quote, and submit manufacturer data sheets or Safety Data Sheets for any equivalent products offered. The solicitation allows equivalent alternatives provided they meet specified salient characteristics, labeled sites, and application methods. The final deadline for questions is June 25, 2025, at 2 PM Eastern, with quotes due by June 30, 2025, at 5 PM Eastern, and delivery required by July 31, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 325320 (Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,150 employees. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed. The quantities specified include products ranging from relatively small amounts like 420 ounces for certain herbicides to larger volumes of 100 gallons for others, indicating a substantial chemical supply requirement for the Bureau's operations. Delivery will be FOB destination with shipping costs included in quoted prices rather than separately itemized. The procurement is managed by the Bureau of Reclamation's Grand Coulee Acquisition Group located in Grand Coulee, Washington, suggesting the chemicals will likely be used for landscape maintenance activities in the Pacific Northwest region.
