Park County Weed And Pest Control District

Park County Weed And Pest Control District is a local government entity based in Powell, Wyoming, registered with the federal government to receive contract and grant awards since May 2004. The district provides specialized weed and pest control services focused on invasive species management, noxious weed treatment, and ecosystem restoration on public lands. Through its federal awards, the district delivers integrated pest management solutions that combine traditional control methods with habitat restoration and hazardous fuels reduction to protect Wyoming's natural resources and communities.

Park County Weed And Pest Control District has received federal contract support through the Bureau of Reclamation, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior. The district was awarded a firm fixed price purchase order valued at $200,000 for weed control services on Reclamation lands within Park County, covering areas including the South Fork Dike, Diamond Creek Dike, Buffalo Bill Land, Buffalo Bill Recreation, and Shoshone Lands. This contract, awarded on April 13, 2021, under NAICS code 561730 for landscaping services, operated on a sole source basis with no set-aside designation. The base period of performance ran from April 2021 through March 2022, with four one-year option periods extending through March 31, 2026, demonstrating the federal government's confidence in the district's service delivery and the recurring nature of weed management needs on federal lands.

Park County Weed And Pest Control District has been a significant recipient of federal grant awards through the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management under cooperative agreements, demonstrating its expertise in integrated pest management and invasive species control.
