F--MARYSVILLE NOXIOUS WEEDS

Solicitation 140L3626Q0008 is a 100% small business set-aside for the Bureau of Land Management Montana State Office to acquire vegetation treatment services for noxious weed control in the Marysville, Montana area. Under NAICS code 115112, the selected contractor will provide all labor and equipment to apply herbicides across three treatment units totaling 300 acres. The period of performance is scheduled from June 1, 2026, to August 30, 2026. Award is based on a best value trade-off analysis considering price and past performance, rather than a lowest price technically acceptable process. The contractor must achieve at least 90 percent visual coverage of target plants using HI-LIGHT blue dye and a minimum 70 percent mortality rate within two to six weeks post-application. Performance is monitored via GPS tracking with data logged at one-second intervals and submitted weekly in shapefile, GPX, or KMZ/KML formats. Strict adherence to EPA-approved product labels, Montana state laws, and environmental regulations is required, including the triple-rinsing and puncturing of chemical containers. Non-compliant applications or the treatment of non-target species may result in a 25 percent pay reduction per affected acre. Invoices must be submitted electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform.
