T0061 - Aircraft Rental Services - NJDEP

The State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury Division of Purchase and Property, is issuing a bid solicitation on behalf of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for aircraft rental services to support the Office of Mosquito Control Coordination and the New Jersey Mosquito Control Commission. The intent is to award a Master Blanket Purchase Order for the rental of various agricultural aircraft, including single-engine airplanes, three-single engine fixed-wing aircraft, and Bell 206 Jet Ranger helicopters, along with the necessary pilots, maintenance, fuel, and all associated services to conduct aerial application of mosquito control chemicals and biological materials over marshes, margins, and upland areas in select New Jersey counties. The solicitation has an undefined contract term but may be extended to cooperative purchasing program participants. Quotes are due by March 10, 2021, and an optional pre-quote conference is scheduled for February 4, 2021.

This solicitation is open to all vendors across the state of New Jersey, with Mercer County specifically identified as a jurisdiction. While there are no small business, disabled veteran-owned, or subcontracting set-asides, the contract does have subcontracting requirements, and vendors must consult the New Jersey Selective Assistance Vendor Information Database for registered small businesses and/or disabled veteran businesses. Pricing will be based on tachometer hours for flight time, and the State will provide all insecticides. The contract is a re-procurement of existing services, but the solicitation has been revised since the prior offering. No incumbent vendor information or budget range is provided.
