Grassland Management Project - Camp Crowder Training Site

The Missouri Department of Public Safety - Army National Guard (DPS-ARNG) Environmental division is soliciting a Request for Quote (RFQ22001608) for a Grassland Management Project at the Camp Crowder Training Site located in Neosho, Newton County, Missouri. The procurement involves spot spraying approximately 583 acres of grassland fields, which includes a specific half-acre section of kudzu. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to complete the project, which will be awarded on a per-acre basis with a minimum guaranteed project size of 200 acres. To be considered, vendors must submit a completed and signed bid sheet along with a copy of their valid commercial applicator's license. The solicitation was posted on February 26, 2022, with responses due by March 18, 2022, at 4:00 PM GMT. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for March 9, 2022, at Camp Crowder Headquarters, which interested vendors could attend only by prior appointment with Miranda Brandt, the procurement contact.

The RFQ appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the documentation, and no specific funding sources were explicitly stated. The solicitation documents do not mention any disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. Payment terms are established as Net 30 Days, and vendors must submit their responses through the MissouriBUYS system, with options for both electronic and hard copy submissions as permitted by the solicitation terms. While the total estimated contract value was not specified in the documents, the project scope of approximately 583 acres suggests a substantial grassland management contract. The contract will be awarded to the vendor who meets all qualifications and submits the most competitive per-acre pricing for the required spot spraying services.
