This procurement falls under the Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing NAICS category (325320) and the Pest Control Agents and Disinfectants PSC category (6840). While specific evaluation criteria have not been detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate logistical capabilities for chemical transportation and storage. The pre-solicitation notice indicates that interested businesses should monitor for the full solicitation, which will be posted at a later date, with responses currently due by April 15, 2025.

The contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for this procurement.

No specific award value or precise quantity of Telone II Chemical has been specified in the pre-solicitation notice. The geographical scope is limited to Idaho, and the contract will involve delivering the chemical by the gallon to an applicator who will be identified at a future date. Potential vendors should carefully review the upcoming full solicitation for detailed requirements, specific delivery specifications, and any additional qualifications needed to successfully bid on this contract.
