Conservation/Parks/Oak Mtn. - Plant Growth Regulator

The state of Alabama, specifically Shelby County, is seeking a procurement opportunity for a plant growth regulator to be used at Oak Mountain State Park located in Pelham, Alabama. The contract requires a product containing 12% Trinexapac-ethyl that is specifically labeled for use on greens, with shipping costs to be included in the pricing. The procurement is structured as an "All or None" solicitation, meaning the entire contract must be awarded to a single vendor who meets all specified requirements. The opportunity was posted on May 14, 2025, with a response deadline of May 19, 2025. Vendors must submit their quotes through the Alabama Buys system and comply with all standard boilerplate requirements outlined in the attached Quick Quote Standard Boilerplate document. The primary objective is to procure a specialized plant growth regulator that meets precise chemical composition and labeling specifications for park maintenance purposes.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and comply with state registration and certification requirements. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise preferences are explicitly mentioned, vendors must certify compliance with numerous state regulations including the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act and E-Verify documentation requirements. Vendors must be registered in the Alabama Buys system and are subject to comprehensive vetting, including potential post-bid qualification reviews. The contract does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the scope suggests a relatively focused, potentially limited-term procurement for park maintenance supplies. Potential bidders should carefully review the attached standard boilerplate document, which outlines extensive legal and procedural requirements for participation in the state's procurement process, including provisions related to contract assignment, payment methods, and regulatory compliance.
