Herbicide, 41% Glyphosate, 2. 5 Gallon

The City of Tampa, located in Hillsborough County, Florida, is seeking proposals for the procurement of herbicide through a competitive solicitation (Project No. 25-P-00390). The specific procurement involves 132 units of Herbicide with 41% Glyphosate, packaged in 2.5-gallon containers, intended for use by various municipal departments. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov solicitation distribution system, with the due date set for October 6, 2025. The solicitation includes comprehensive bidding instructions, general conditions, and detailed insurance requirements covering Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, and additional specialized insurance types. Vendors are expected to comply with local regulations, including non-discrimination policies and ethics code provisions, and the City reserves the right to award the contract by division, line item, or aggregate total. The procurement process allows for competitive pricing, with vendors required to complete a vendor questionnaire and submit a price proposal using the provided template.

The solicitation appears to have no current Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) vendors registered, which might present an opportunity for qualifying businesses to participate in the procurement process. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the procurement suggests an open competitive process for qualified vendors. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the available documentation. The RFP does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the procurement involves 132 units of herbicide. Insurance requirements are extensive, indicating a robust qualification process for potential vendors. The electronic submission process through OpenGov suggests a modern, technology-enabled procurement approach that prioritizes transparency and accessibility for potential bidders. Vendors will need to demonstrate compliance with multiple regulatory and insurance requirements to be considered for the contract.
