Shooting sports invasive

The Bureau of Land Management Arizona Region is soliciting quotes for chemical treatment services to address invasive weed species across approximately 117 acres at four recreation shooting sports sites in Yavapai County, Arizona. The scope includes foliar spot treatment of invasive vegetation such as Wild mustard, Black mustard, Stinknet, Buffelgrass, Saharan mustard, and Johnsongrass using backpack sprayers, handheld spray bottles, and tanked UTVs with hand wands. Work must be conducted exclusively on Wednesdays when sites are closed for maintenance, and contractors must provide all equipment, personnel protective equipment, fire suppression tools, and vehicles while BLM will supply GPS-referenced maps, water source, and approved herbicide list. The procurement will be awarded using a Firm Fixed Price methodology based on unit pricing per acre, with payment determined by GPS-surveyed acres actually treated. All questions must be submitted in writing by September 10, 2025 at 5:00 PM EDT, and quotes are due electronically to lhariper@blm.gov by September 17, 2025 at 5:00 PM EDT.

This solicitation is not designated as a set-aside opportunity and no current contractors or incumbents are identified in the documentation. The contract value will be determined by the contractor's submitted unit price per acre multiplied by the total 117 acres requiring treatment, though no specific budget range is disclosed. The performance period extends from October 1, 2025 through January 30, 2026, providing approximately four months to complete the invasive species treatment across all designated areas. The four shooting sports sites requiring treatment are located at Box Canyon, Church Camp Road, Baldy Mountain, and Saddleback Mountain in Yavapai County, Arizona. Contractors must include their Unique Entity Identifier with their submission and are encouraged to conduct site tours prior to bidding, with a mandatory pre-work conference scheduled to review project specifications before contract commencement.
