RFI, BPAA, 2027-0001 Pesticide Disposal Services

The Colorado Department of Agriculture is issuing RFI BPAA 2027-0001 for pesticide disposal services on behalf of the Pesticide Disposal Enterprise Board, with RFI responses due August 28, 2026 at 10:00 AM Mountain Time. This is formal market research only; no award will result. Written inquiries were due August 24, 2026 at 10:00 AM, with responses published by August 25, 2026 at 4:00 PM.

The scope encompasses pesticide disposal services statewide throughout Colorado to reduce risk from incorrect or unlawful disposal of eligible pesticide products. Respondents must detail firm Colorado authorizations (DOT, OSHA, RCRA, licenses, permits), qualified personnel credentials, compliance approaches, geographic service areas, storage and transportation capabilities, handling and packaging requirements, recordkeeping procedures, and required equipment. Subcontracting is permissible if the respondent discloses subcontracting intent, submits proof of subcontractor credentials upon request, and complies with contract terms.

The RFI requests pricing information including estimated budgets, professional services fees, and timelines for disposal events, with budgeting to contemplate in-person meeting attendance, administrative costs, and necessary licenses or certifications. Pricing submission is not mandatory. The Board intends to use responses to develop a complete scope of services, budget, and potentially conduct interviews with interested vendors.

All material submitted becomes the property of the State and will not be treated as confidential unless accompanied by detailed trade secret or proprietary justification with specific regulatory citation. RFI responses must be submitted via box.com. The procurement is exempt from the Colorado Procurement Code pursuant to 35-10.5-104(c), C.R.S.
