Geese Remediation

Northern Virginia Community College, procuring through the Virginia Community College System Shared Services Center, is requesting bids for humane geese removal and seasonal control management services on a year-round basis across three campuses (Annandale, Loudon, and Woodbridge) under IFB VCCS-NVCC-27-123022, with bids due August 17, 2026 at 2:30 PM local time via eVA and a public virtual bid opening at 3:00 PM the same day. The Commonwealth requires Small Business Subcontracting Plan submission with a statewide goal of 42% procurement from DSBSD-certified small businesses.

The contractor must provide weekly geese remediation services across all three Fairfax County locations, supplying all labor, materials, supervision, and equipment. Removal methods may include trained patrol dogs but must exclude chemicals, fencing, guns, and addling techniques. The contractor must demonstrate a minimum of five years of geese remediation experience, maintain year-round operational capacity during normal college operating hours, comply with all federal and state wildlife regulations, and obtain any required permits from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Pricing is structured as a firm unit cost per week per campus, estimated at 52 weekly service events annually per location.

The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewal periods. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation, employer's liability of $100,000, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit. Payment follows Virginia prompt-payment requirements; contractors must pay subcontractors within seven days of Commonwealth payment or provide written notice of withholding. Questions are due August 5, 2026, directed to Patrick Millehan, Senior Contract Officer. All bids must use the official state form; failure to do so may result in rejection. Contractors must disclose any artificial intelligence tools used in proposal development.
