PFO Herbicide Application BPA

The Bureau of Land Management's Pocatello Field Office is soliciting proposals for on-the-ground herbicide application services to control noxious and invasive weeds across BLM-administered lands in Idaho under solicitation number 140L2626Q0012.

Contractors must hold current Idaho Professional Applicator Licenses in the Agricultural Pesticide Category and must employ GPS-equipped crews capable of recording geospatial data. Evaluation will be based on three primary criteria: technical capability (including work activity plan, methods, key personnel, timing, and quality control measures), prior experience and past performance with references, and price, using a lowest price technically acceptable methodology. Proposals are due electronically to Contracting Officer Heather McBride at hmcbride@blm.gov by April 14, 2026, at 5:00 PM Mountain time, with contractor questions due by March 26, 2026.

The contract is structured as a Blanket Purchase Agreement covering a five-year period from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031, with individual task orders determining specific periods of performance and work areas.
