About this opportunity
The US Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region is seeking a contractor to perform noxious weed spraying services on the Fort Pierre National Grassland in central South Dakota. The project involves spot-treating approximately 3,000 acres of previously burned pastureland to target invasive thistle species including musk thistle, Canada thistle, and bull thistle using GrazonNext HL herbicide applied at 24 ounces per acre. Contractors must possess proper pesticide licensing in South Dakota, demonstrate at least one year of experience treating noxious weeds in rangeland settings, and have GPS capabilities for mapping treatment areas. The evaluation will focus on technical capability, past performance, and price as key factors. Proposals are due by August 15, 2025 at 3:00 PM Mountain Time and must be submitted via email to the contracting officer.
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the Total Small Business designation. The contract carries a total value of $60,000 with a performance period extending from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, allowing contractors flexibility to conduct treatments during either fall 2025 or spring 2026 seasons. The work will be performed across five distinct treatment areas within Fort Pierre National Grassland, including locations named Stockton, Cut Off, Chester, Number Two, and an additional unnamed area spanning multiple land ownership types. The contractor must achieve a 90% kill rate of targeted species while limiting non-target vegetation loss to less than 20%. All work must be completed in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, with comprehensive GPS documentation and treatment records required within 10 days of contract completion.
