The Lowndes County Board of Supervisors in Mississippi is seeking sealed bids for herbicides, with proposals due by 10:30 a.m. on June 25, 2025. The procurement is specifically for herbicide products to be used during a six-month contract period from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Interested vendors must obtain bid specifications from the Lowndes County Purchasing Office located at 1121 Main Street in Columbus, Mississippi, or by calling 662-329-5877. Bids must be delivered to the Lowndes County Chancery Clerk's Office at 505 2nd Avenue North, Columbus, MS 39701, or mailed to P.O. Box 684, Columbus, MS 39703. The Board of Supervisors will evaluate and award the contract based on the best overall bid, with explicit rights to accept or reject any submissions. Bidders must clearly mark their envelope with "SEALED BID FOR HERBICIDES TO BE OPENED ON JUNE 25, 2025" to ensure proper processing, with potential disqualification for non-compliance. The bid advertisement will be published twice, on June 6, 2025, and June 13, 2025, to provide adequate notice to potential bidders.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified herbicide suppliers. The bid evaluation will focus on the overall quality and competitiveness of the proposal, with no indication of restrictions on vendor type or size. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the available information. The documentation does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the herbicide contract. Potential bidders should contact the Lowndes County Purchasing Office directly for more detailed information about potential contract value, specific herbicide requirements, and any additional qualification criteria. The six-month contract period suggests a modest procurement opportunity focused on meeting the county's vegetation management needs during the latter half of 2025.
