Washington State Department of Enterprise Services is soliciting bids for Vegetation Management & Related Products to establish a statewide contract vehicle for liquid and dry herbicides, aquatic herbicides, adjuvants, surfactants, and ornamental products used by state agencies and municipalities managing highways, city streets, forestry areas, and nurseries, with proposals due August 20, 2026. A Reserved Award per contract category is restricted to the highest-scored responsive, responsible bidder who qualifies as a Washington Small Business and/or Certified Veteran-Owned Business and did not receive a Main Award for that category; Main Awards are open to all responsive, responsible bidders.

The solicitation organizes bids into three contract categories: Category 1 (WSDOT Tested Products), Category 2 (Related Vegetation Management Products), and Category 3 (Utility Vegetation Control Products). Bidders may respond to any or all categories, with package sizes evaluated as separate line items. Successful bidders must hold valid Washington State Department of Agriculture Pesticide Dealer Licenses and comply with WAC 18.170 and RCW 15.58. A five percent cost reduction applies to bidders certifying PCB-free products and packaging tested by an independent third-party laboratory using EPA Analytical Method 1668c or verified in the ChemForward iPCB Pigment Resource Tool.

Evaluation assigns 950 points to cost factors and up to 50 additional points for Executive Order 18-03 compliance. Historical annual spending ranged from $914,419 to $3.87 million, with four-year cumulative spending of approximately $7.77 million. Primary purchasers were State Agencies (45.33%), Counties (45.11%), and special districts and political subdivisions (9.64%). The resulting contracts will have a term of up to sixty months; bidders must specify prices for the first twelve months. Enterprise Services intends to award up to four Main Awards and up to one Reserved Award per contract category. A virtual pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 15, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Questions are due August 6, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, with answers anticipated by August 12. Apparent Successful Bidders will be announced September 16, 2026, with contract awards anticipated October 1, 2026. All bidders must register with Washington's Electronic Business Solution (WEBS) system to submit bids. Bid prices must remain firm for ninety days from the bid due date, and bidders bear all credit card processing fees.
