The US Forest Service, through the Southern Research Station of the Department of Agriculture, issued solicitation AG-4660-S-16-0027 for the procurement of herbicides to be delivered to the Savannah River Site in New Ellenton, South Carolina. This acquisition, categorized under NAICS code 325320 and set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses, requires the supply of 300 gallons of imazapyr, such as Polaris AC or an equivalent, and 335 gallons of triclopyr ester, such as Element 4 or an equivalent. Both products must be labeled for forestry use and adhere to specific active ingredient percentages and container size restrictions. Deliveries were scheduled to take place between September 30 and October 5, 2016. Due to the delivery location, all contractors and personnel must comply with strict security and site access authorizations for the Savannah River Site, which include mandatory Category II General Employee Training, security screening, and specific badging procedures. Administrative coordination for this requirement was managed by Contracting Specialist Steven Eric Butler and Contracting Officer Mark J. Miller.
