The base year performance period runs from May 1 to July 1, 2026, with two optional one-year extensions available in 2027 and 2028, each with a fixed price of $3,120 for a single 45-acre spot treatment, yielding a potential total contract value of $9,360. Work involves the application of specified herbicides—primarily aminopyralid at 0.11 lb a.e./acre with a non-toxic surfactant—to control noxious weeds including Scotch, Musk, Bull, and Canada thistle, as well as A- and B-listed weeds in the region. Delivery and performance occur exclusively at the LVA wetland reserve easement managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with inspections conducted two weeks post-treatment to verify effectiveness and compliance, including GPS tracking of treated areas and accurate reporting of chemical quantities. The contract mandates strict adherence to environmental and procurement regulations including the Buy American Act, the Trade Agreements Act, and the EPA’s SNAP program for approved chemicals. Contractors must comply with sustainable procurement standards under the Green Procurement Compilation, implement waste reduction practices, and certify that no covered telecommunications or video surveillance equipment from prohibited entities is used. All offerors must be active in SAM, provide a UEI and CAGE code if applicable, and submit certifications for labor compliance, equal opportunity for veterans, and child labor-free end products. Invoicing is exclusively through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with no use of WAWF, and payments require prior submission of post-treatment inspection verification. The contract includes optional extensions under FAR clauses 52.217-8 and 52.217-9, with labor rate adjustments permitted upon renewal. Technical capability and past performance are evaluated alongside price on a trade-off basis, with no single factor dominating. Point of contact for contracting is Kathryn Coltran, with technical oversight by Jamie Oskowski and administrative support from Rachel Leigh.
