Herbicide QVL SDA 374-0652

The Missouri Department of Conservation is soliciting competitive bids to establish a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) via a Blanket Purchase Agreement for the procurement of herbicides and related products on an as-needed basis. All herbicides must be manufactured in the United States, registered in Missouri, and labeled according to state law. The contractor is required to provide updated price lists every three months and ensure all shipments are delivered F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed, including unloading at the Department's designated site. Strict adherence to OSHA Hazard Communication Standards is required, meaning all hazardous chemicals must feature warning labels and be accompanied by a product-specific Safety Data Sheet. Award determinations are based on compliance with mandatory specifications and Missouri statutes, with a preference for products manufactured in Missouri and firms doing business within the state. Additional bonus points, ranging from 5 to 15, are available for vendors who utilize qualified nonprofit organizations for the blind or sheltered workshops. Applicants must provide several certifications, including Secretary of State registration, E-Verify participation, and an Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act certification for companies with ten or more employees. Invoices must be itemized and reference the purchase order number, with payments typically issued within thirty calendar days of receipt. The response deadline is November 30, 2026.
