Herbicide Application – Targeted Chemical Treatment

The contract requires the targeted application of an EPA-registered, aquatic-rated glyphosate herbicide with an indicator dye to control privet, specifically on stumps or foliage where mechanical removal has proven ineffective. The treatment must be applied precisely to minimize off-target impact and ensure compliance with environmental regulations, particularly in aquatic-adjacent areas. The use of an indicator dye ensures visual confirmation of treated areas, enhancing accuracy and accountability during application. This is a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, solicited by MDC CONSERVATION in Missouri with a response deadline of August 17, 2026. The work is expected to occur in locations where privet infestation threatens native ecosystems, and the contractor must follow strict protocols to protect water quality and non-target vegetation. The contract does not specify a set-aside classification or point of contact, and all performance is expected to align with state and federal environmental standards applicable to herbicide use in sensitive habitats.
