Herbicide Application Equipment Supply & Maintenance

The contract calls for the supply and ongoing maintenance of specialized herbicide application equipment tailored for use in remote, off-grid wetland environments. This includes backpack sprayers, boom sprayers, UTV-mounted systems, and airboat rigs, all of which must be capable of operating reliably in challenging, inaccessible natural settings where traditional infrastructure is unavailable. The equipment must meet rigorous performance and durability standards to ensure effective vegetation management while minimizing environmental disruption, and the contractor is responsible for both initial delivery and long-term servicing, including repairs, calibration, and spare parts provision. This is a Small Business Set Aside contract under NAICS code 423830, restricted to small businesses as defined by the SBA, and is issued by the FWS Sat Team 3 under the Department of the Interior. Proposals are due by August 21, 2026, with the opportunity posted on August 5, 2026. The place of performance is not specified beyond the requirement for operations in remote wetland areas, indicating the need for equipment and logistical readiness across potentially vast and varied geographic regions. The subcontract nature suggests integration into larger federal conservation or land management efforts, requiring strict compliance with environmental protocols and operational safety guidelines.
