Fertilizer

The Wyoming Department of Corrections is seeking bids for fertilizer supplies through Invitation for Bid #0155-K, specifically targeting 54.638 tons of UREA 46-0-0 and 11.10 tons of Elemental Sulfur to be delivered to the Wyoming Honor Farm or Wyoming State Training School in Lander during April 2025. The procurement requires dry pellet-type chemicals with pricing to include mixing and delivery in spreader application carts on a per field application basis. Bidders must submit their proposals through the Public Purchase Online Bidding System by 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time on February 20, 2025, with all questions due by 10:00 a.m. on February 13, 2025. Purchase quantities may vary by plus or minus 10% of the indicated amounts, and the Department reserves the right to refuse any and all bids and potentially make multiple contract awards. Successful contractors must be prepared to undergo background checks and provide appropriate insurance coverage.

Wyoming gives procurement preference to resident vendors, who must provide verification of their resident certification number for bid preference consideration. Foreign corporations must obtain a certificate of authority from the Secretary of State before conducting business in the state. The solicitation emphasizes non-discrimination policies and requires compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a localized, specialized fertilizer supply contract for correctional facility agricultural operations. The contract will likely involve vendors experienced in agricultural chemical supply, with potential for multiple awards based on the state's assessment of the most advantageous proposals. Bidders must demonstrate capability to meet precise delivery specifications and adhere to all state procurement regulations.
