Fremont County Weed & Pest

Fremont County Weed & Pest is a U.S. local government entity operating as the Fremont County Weed & Pest Control District in Wyoming, registered with SAM.gov since August 2003. The organization specializes in invasive species management, noxious weed control, and pest management services across federal and tribal lands within Fremont County. Through its federal award history, Fremont County Weed & Pest has established itself as a critical partner to multiple Department of the Interior bureaus, delivering comprehensive vegetation control, habitat restoration, and ecological management services that address wildfire fuel reduction, agricultural resource protection, and ecosystem conservation across the region.

Fremont County Weed & Pest has demonstrated significant capacity through federal contract awards, most notably a $140,012.97 firm fixed price purchase order from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded in April 2021. This contract, awarded through sole source procurement with no set-aside designation, provided weed control services on three Bureau of Reclamation sites throughout Fremont County over a five-year performance period extending from April 2021 to March 2026. The contract reflects the organization's specialized expertise in managing nearly 100,000 acres of Reclamation-owned lands requiring treatment for prevention of invasive and noxious weeds, addressing a critical federal land stewardship priority in Wyoming.
