Select Herbicides for Invasive Plant Control - Rebid

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the supply of select herbicides and adjuvants necessary for invasive plant control on statewide public conservation lands throughout Leon County, Florida. The procurement seeks competitive pricing for multiple herbicide products in various container sizes, including glyphosate (aquatic and terrestrial formulations), imazamox, imazapic, imazapyr, and triclopyr (amine and ester formulations), with all products requiring Florida registration and aquatic products specifically labeled for aquatic environments. Qualified bidders must provide electronic copies of current approved product labels and a minimum of three verifiable references demonstrating similar work performance. The solicitation is structured as a multiple-award procurement that will award to the lowest five bidders within 25% of the low bid per herbicide product, with pricing quoted per unit (gallon) FOB destination in whole cents only, excluding Federal and State sales or use taxes. Key deadlines include a bid submission deadline of April 15, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET, with public bid opening scheduled for the same date and time and an anticipated award date of April 21, 2026. The contract term is one year from purchase order issuance with an optional one-year renewal period at the Commission's discretion, requiring delivery completion within fourteen days of order issuance and awarded bidders to respond to orders within twenty-four hours to confirm availability or decline.

Bidders must be registered with both MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) and SunBiz systems prior to bid opening, with no subcontracting permitted under this contract. The solicitation does not explicitly reference set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting participation to specific organization types, suggesting the procurement is open to all qualified vendors meeting the registration and product requirements. Liquidated damages of 10% of total order value per calendar day of delay apply for failure to meet completion deadlines, with exceptions only for circumstances beyond the contractor's control. All invoicing requires submission of signed and dated proof-of-delivery documentation via email to the FWC Contract Manager, and the pricing structure accounts for delivery logistics and any necessary equipment such as lift gates or forklifts required by individual recipients. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the solicitation documents, though the contract covers statewide public conservation lands across Florida, indicating a potentially substantial volume of herbicide purchases over the contract term.
