RFI - Agricultural Pesticide Market Research

The Environmental Protection Agency is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation 68HERW27Q0012 to identify responsible sources capable of providing primary agricultural market research data and access to a commercial database for pesticide usage. The agency seeks a nationally representative solution that provides at least ten years of historical data on the usage of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, and growth regulators to support regulatory decision-making. The required data must be updated at least annually and cover a wide range of crops, including cereal grains, oilseeds, cotton, pulse crops, sugar beets, tuber crops, fruits, vegetables, and nuts. The desired database must be searchable by year, geographic area, and pesticide type, providing specific metrics such as active ingredients, acres treated, total pounds applied, application rates, timing, and expenditures. As this is an RFI for planning purposes, it does not constitute a formal request for quote or a promise of a future contract. Interested respondents must provide a cover sheet with company details, including their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), business size, and any applicable GSA schedules, followed by a response to specific capability questions limited to three pages with a minimum font size of 11. The response deadline is November 18, 2026.
