Iguana Removal in the Florida Keys

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive bids for the removal, collection of data, and proper disposal of Green and Spiny-tail Iguanas from its Wildlife Environmental Areas (WEAs) and selected State Parks in the Florida Keys and Monroe County. The one-year contract, with an option to renew for an additional year, requires the selected contractor to use various capture methods to remove the iguanas a minimum of twice per month from 13 designated sites, humanely kill the iguanas, collect and submit morphometric data, and dispose of the carcasses. Responsive and responsible contractors will be considered for award, with the contract being awarded to the bidder that submits the lowest total price. Interested parties must be registered in the MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) system and with SunBiz prior to the bid opening on July 23, 2024.

The FWC encourages participation from certified minority, woman, and veteran-owned businesses. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified, the procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The procurement does not specify a budget range, but the award will be made based on the lowest total price submitted by a responsive and responsible bidder.
