Herbicide

The State of Nevada Department of Administration Purchasing Division is conducting a competitive procurement for a one-time purchase of herbicides through an open market solicitation method via the Nevada ePro procurement system. The solicitation was posted on May 18, 2026, with a bid submission deadline of June 15, 2026. Vendors must submit complete quotes through the Nevada ePro platform, including General information, Items (with unit costs, discounts, and freight charges), Questions, Subcontractors, Notes, Terms & Conditions, and required attachments before the specified Bid Opening Date and time. All submissions must include numerical-only pricing without commas, with the system automatically calculating extended amounts, and vendors must acknowledge receipt of the bid solicitation and accept the Standard Terms and Conditions for Commodities or identify specific exceptions. The State will evaluate bids based on factors including location, quality, total cost of ownership, conformity to specifications, purposes for the goods, and delivery dates, with award proceeding to the lowest responsible bidder. Delivery must be provided on a Free on Board (Destination) basis with freight prepaid, and all herbicides must be new equipment only—not used, refurbished, or demo units.

Nevada-based businesses may receive a five percent (5%) preference if the majority of goods are produced in Nevada, and local businesses owned and operated by veterans with service-connected disabilities may receive an additional five percent (5%) preference for contracts valued between $50,000 and $500,000. All vendors must comply with federal OSHA standards, Nevada employment non-discrimination laws, and prohibitions on boycotting Israel, and the State reserves the right to award contracts after comprehensive evaluation of all submitted bids. The solicitation documents do not specify an overall budget range or award value; these details would be contained in the specific bid solicitation items attachment. Vendors should anticipate standard state payment processing timelines of 30 to 45 days upon receipt and agency approval, and be prepared to accept State purchasing cards (MasterCard) as an alternative payment method. Interested vendors must establish access to the Nevada ePro procurement system and comply with all submission requirements to be considered for award eligibility.
