Aquatic Herbicide Supply & Delivery

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) is seeking to purchase various aquatic herbicide products for the treatment and control of hydrilla, with orders typically placed two to three times per year. The District is not authorized to store large quantities of chemicals, so the products must be delivered to the site for immediate use. The procurement is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) posted on the CFTOD's new electronic bidding platform, PlanetBids, where vendors must register to submit questions and bids. The ITB does not provide pricing terms, set-asides, or incumbent information, but it does outline the District's need for just-in-time delivery due to storage constraints.

The ITB announcement indicates that the CFTOD has bid preferences for local vendors, veteran small businesses, and opportunity zone businesses, as outlined in their Procurement Policy. However, the document does not specify any funding requirements or sources. The ITB also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The announcement does not provide an estimated award value or budget range for the aquatic herbicide supply and delivery contract.
