Aerial and/or ground application of insecticides for mosquito control

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board (SRB) is seeking proposals for aerial and/or ground application of insecticides for mosquito control services. The SRB is looking to award multiple contracts to create a pre-qualified list of contractors that can provide emergency and area-wide vector control services. This includes aerial and/or ground pesticide application services, ground-based spray application services using truck-mounted and/or backpack sprays, and the provision of pesticide products for the contractors to use. Responses are due by June 30, 2016, and the initial contract term is estimated to be up to three years, with four optional three-year renewal periods. The SRB will evaluate factors such as availability, prior experience, performance, ability to meet timelines, and cost when selecting contractors. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements, insurance, and relevant licenses and certifications.

The RFR does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent(s) are not identified, and details on award values or budget ranges are not provided. However, the RFR indicates the SRB reserves the right to add new contractors to the contract if deemed necessary to provide sufficient coverage.
