JH26-46 Parley's Canyon Ground Only Herbicide Spraying of Myrtle Spurge Spring 2026

The State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, through the State of Utah Division of Purchasing, is soliciting bids via Invitation for Bid (IFB) JH26-46 for ground-based herbicide spraying services to control myrtle spurge infestations in Parley's Canyon during spring 2026. The project requires contractors to conduct spot spray applications with herbicide to treat 100% of myrtle spurge located within an identified 480-acre project area, with all work to be completed by June 15, 2026. The IFB does not mandate a mandatory site visit prior to bid submission, and the contract will be awarded to a single lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor based solely on price evaluation. Vendors must guarantee their pricing for the duration of the contract through the completion date of June 15, 2026. The solicitation was posted on March 19, 2026, with bids due by March 26, 2026. Prospective bidders must meet vendor prerequisites and eligibility requirements established by the State of Utah, as detailed in the accompanying vendor prerequisites documentation, and should review all technical specifications and performance requirements outlined in the scope of work to ensure their proposed approach meets stated objectives for this ground-based herbicide treatment project.

The procurement documents do not identify any set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other restricted vendor categories, suggesting this opportunity is open to all responsive and responsible vendors meeting the stated prerequisites. No incumbent contractor information or current contractor details are specified in the available documentation. The solicitation does not reference any existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration with the contractor's operations. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available procurement materials, though vendors are required to provide firm pricing proposals that will remain guaranteed throughout the contract period. Interested contractors should obtain the complete IFB package, including the Vendor Prerequisites, Scope of Work, Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, and project area maps, to prepare comprehensive and competitive bid submissions prior to the March 26, 2026 deadline.
